[SML] [EXTERNAL] Is everyone still ok?

[Dale Farmer]

Hi everyone.
With all the shows cancelling, 4wall laid me off along with loads of 
other employees a couple weeks ago.  Quite a shock after 14 years.  Now 
in the process of filing for unemployment and sitting at home.   Still 
taking care of elderly mom at home, so being pretty careful about 
bringing any infections home.     Massachusetts just extended the 
closures to May 4th, so another month of staying home.

got lots of projects at home I should be working on...
