Life After Rush Hour

Does Sally miss her long commute? She now has time to play her flute Roger's nerves have all calmed down He no longer drives downtown Mary enjoys life without the train or bus Her vocabulary richer -- no more does she cuss Riley's got it made; sleep in past eight Rising with the rooster's no longer his fate Say what you will about the "new normal" Folks are stressed out less, and more informal

I have to admit I have had almost too much time lately to do "anything I want" and am running out of ideas. I will be finished with summer break way before summer break finishes.

I have faith in you figuring out how to 'break the mould.' Happy summer! :) gw

G'day Gershon … how true it is. Of course there are a few on the other side of the scales but it's the way of humanity. Perhaps there was this need to stop and take a breath, but we need great leaders to lead us at this time - thanks Rico - Lindsay

Yes, indeed. We yearn for great leaders... And we get Trump, Boris Johnson, Vladimir Putin, Xi, Kim,... ~ Ugh-Li!

Not all doom and gloom then, fixed all my fences that needed replacing and working down the list. Hope you're well Tom
