Day 283: Day 366
We’ve been pretending to “flatten the curve” for 283 days, according to the hash marks I’ve scratched on the rock, and for 43 of those days we’ve been ordered to be home by 10pm. I also notice that it’s a Thursday, which is something I’ve had to stop and think about...

Day 258: Wanna bet?
It’s Sunday, Day 258 of The First Ohio Shutdown, Day 18 of Cock-A-Doodle-Curfew and Day 194 of Marx & Melanin. Deb and I are great. Doing a little math, I calculate that we have just three days left...
