-A suggestion, since you have a laptop. Lately, I have become addicted to watching "REACTION" videos to music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s from Gen-Xers. Some of them are "music producers," others musicians themselves, and others just trying to "expand their horizons."

Honestly, some of these are hilarious, others enlightening, and some just reassuring that at least a few will learn to appreciate the music that has inspired all the rest--as well as the use of instruments, voices, and techniques totally foreign to them today. Some of the younger black rappers doing these reaction videos are both the most expressive and truly amazed at the likes of the Beatles, Pink Floyd, the early music of the 60s (Elvis, Motown performers, Fleetwood Mac, and on and on...

Maybe you'll find them a good way to while away the time, too.

Oh, and despite the insanity of HHS under RFK Jr., it looks like a nationwide oral COVID-19 stage III clinical trial is going on after all, so we can only hope that more/better prevention from future infections will be forthcoming. (I have an advisory role at one site)...

Feel better!
