Back to Work

Leaving aside whether or not it is a wise decision healthwise, my employer has demanded my return to my essential job, and I have agreed to return.  I go back tomorrow, Sunday May 3, 2020.  Back to waiting on at least 60 customers a day, most with no masks and little regard for Covid 19.  Oh well.  That's life.

As a result, my writing will be taking a back seat.  I did post Saturday's (today's) chapter at Confessionsofasupervillain.blogspot.com , but we're going back to Tuesday only postings, and it might not happen this Tuesday, but I will try.

I will do my best to stay safe, you do the same.
