Channel Four Noon News:

CBS4NEWS would like to make a correction. Last night we reported that a worker in the local Ford plant died from the CoronaVirus. It was not a worker at the Ford Plant, it was a worker at the local Chrysler Plant who died. We are sorry.

Another inside day - which is okay.

My brother Kent called and ask me if I had any face masks - I did have a few, so he is coming by to get them today.....

Are you keeping any for your own use?

DR Cilla be warned to check the dates on the notes.  Most of the time you need to reload them to make them current.

I saw a funny video of Oprah talking to Stedman whom she isolated to a small cottage on her property.  It seems he was late to the self quarantine party and had been traveling.  She wouldn't let him into the house.  I don't blame her as she recently had a very serious case pneumonia.

I follow two authors on Facebook.  Helen Simonson who wrote "Major  Pettigrew's Last Stand" & "The Summer Before the War" posted this today.

My father died Sunday of Covid-19. He had underlying health issues but showed none of the classic virus symptoms in advance. He had NO contact with any confirmed cases. My parents live in a rural French town, not a big city. The virus was spread by asymptomatic folks and untested sick people. The grocery store, the pharmacy, a local cafe or park bench? We will never know how he got it. My mother, who is alone now in a complete lockdown, was happy to see her grandsons warning on social media to take this seriously and isolate wherever you are. I'm passing on this message too, from my mother. Time later to celebrate the life of my wonderful father - time now to make your families safe.

My neighbor Judy is a good lady but she's not always playing with a full deck.  I've become her charity case, and she often turns up at my door with old clothes of her husband's.  This morning she gave me a bag of groceries saying that they were handing out free food where the old Gristedes supermarket was.  The bag contained a box of cereal and two large jars of peanut butter.

Then she complained that the Gristedes was closed.  It's been closed for about two years.  I told her where it now was.

So, I've finished re-formatting all 4 of the books that I got back from my soon-to-be-out-of-business publisher, and am now waiting for the proof copies, which should be here next week.

I've also created trailers for all 4 books.

Once I have checked the proofs, the books will go live as both print-on-demand and Kindle editions.

We’ve had at least four cases at work so far, two in Tampa, one in Phoenix and one in Colorado Springs. Two more were at-home workers. So, that’s six cases.

Cillaliz, I just went back and read that youR father died just a few days ago. I’m so sorry. I hope you’re at peace with it. were you able to get together with you family? Or had self-quarantining measures going into effect then? How is your mom handling it?

I'm up, I'm up - was up forty minutes ago, but lots of e-mails this morning, including cover proofs and galley - covers have been approved, galley may have to be redone as the odd numbered pages have shifted to the right a bit - which happened on GEE and had to be redone, so trying to nip this in the bud now.  I looked at Magic Castle's galley, which is all perfectly centered and Grant's PDF is also all perfectly centered.  So, waiting to find out what's what on that, but even if they have to redo it, it should be pretty quick - the covers were the big thing and those are now approved.
