Katie made it!

Katie has arrived safely in Boulder. She and Gertie are now self-quarantining at the house in Boulder while her dad is in Santa Fe. She said her flight went very smoothly. The LaGuardia terminal only had about 20 people in the entire terminal. Her flight had only 10 people on it and they were all well spaced-out (physically, that is). She got to the house almost midnight Tuesday night. Her dad had put in quite a bit of food before he left for Santa Fe, and she has learned that the local markets have curbside pick-up, so she's going to be able to keep to herself pretty well. She has Wi-Fi there at the house so she can stay in touch with her friends back east, and of course she and Gertie can take walks in the beautiful countryside. I am much relieved to know that she is there in Boulder and not in Brooklyn. We can be in touch pretty regularly by text and phone. After two weeks, her dad will come back and she'll just stay there in Boulder until she gets a more definite word on her job back in Brooklyn. She's getting unemployment checks with the federal bonus, and she's also gotten her stimulus check, so she feels pretty set financially. 

Meanwhile, we're doing fine. We don't go anywhere very much, staying pretty much here at home. It's sort of wintry - we had a dusting of snow this morning - but we do try to get out every day for a walk of some kind. We dropped some eggs off for John yesterday and saw him briefly outside. We also took trash and recycle stuff to the landfill.  We feel fortunate, because we know through the news that there are literally millions of people suffering terribly through this time.
