<p class="MsoNormal">Hi from Rochester MN and home of the WFMC – World Famous Mayo Clinic.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Every show around here has been cancelled or postponed. Our governor ordered ‘Shelter in Place’ last Monday.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our College went on spring break March 9 just as all this was breaking and we never came back. I’m very fortunate they haven’t laid anyone off. Lots of online training and cleaning the shop and I did buy a bunch of clear plastic bins to
organize the props area… I did some of it… then lost my motivation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sure do appreciate ETC and their online training and the webinars they’re setting up. Great Stuff!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My wife works for Mayo Clinic in a non-patient contact area and she has started working from home. We live on a farm in the country and don’t have very good internet options so that’s been a challenge. Getting a new internet provider on
the 13<sup>th</sup>! Have to bounce the signal off a barn to get to the house, but hope it’s better than the ‘WildBlue’ satellite service we have now.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am certainly enjoying my extra free time at home and getting machinery ready for spring. Doing repairs and maintenance that I don’t usually have time for with shows opening and commencement exercises and regular college activities.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a 25yr old daughter with Downs Syndrome, but no extra respiratory issues thankfully, and we pulled her from all her programs back on March 16<sup>th</sup>. She’s loving being home and watching movies and doing whatever she wants.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So we’re OK. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s good to keep busy during the day; helps the mind from running away with itself.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But at night, when it’s quiet and dark… that’s when things sneak back in, you know?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Working on that. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Keep being safe all of you. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We know we’ll get through this. Trying to focus on the positives.
<o:p></o:p></p>
