Sunshine on the Horizon
Dear America,
I feel as though we've both been in a bit of a rut lately. For the past week, I've been in this sort of mental state where work has gotten painfully dull. Things on the outside don't seem much better either apparently. Rapists are on the TV; toilet paper is so valuable it has become a form of currency in some communities; and the way the media talks about COVID-19, I half-expect it to jump me from behind a dumpster and have its way with me. Despite all of that, I'm a bit optimistic.
Since the closing of my building's gym, I have taken to aimlessly wandering the streets of my neighborhood in search of some semblance of exercise. With the turn of April to May, the faintest crack of summer is peaking in already, and you know what that means: sun-washed streets and listening to Mr. Mister while wearing sunglasses at night! Well...technically, I suppose you can do the latter during the winter too, but it's like listening to Christmas music in June.

Apparently, he is not a fan of "Broken Wings"
I have to admit that it wasn't until the whole pandemic thang that I actually took the time to stroll around the neighborhood. Typically that's something I do, whenever I move to a new place, but this time took me a little longer than usual. I have to admit that the sights and sounds of the East Coast really are something, whether an epidemic is on the loose or not.
There's plenty to see if you know where to look
I think it's going to be a good summer and no, it's not because the next season of Riverdale is hitting Netflix! I think that this epidemic has made a lot of us think about things in a new light, and it will be really exciting to see how we bounce back from this whole thing! It won't be long before we're getting our bronze on while jamming out to "Kyrie!" I hope you'll be there to join me.
Some people are really getting into the spirit of this whole quarantine thing
Sincerely,
Calhoun
