Those that believe that one incident defines a race, you are wrong.

It’s the last day of May. Ready for some personal examination? After twelve weeks, what has become clearer to you? For example, your church or other religious institution hasn’t been open for services. Have the members been clamoring to get back to see one another? Have you? If not, what does that say about you? Your church? Or it might be your workplace. You’ve been working from home. Has the office missed your physical presence? Have you missed your compatriots? Or your school or artistic or athletic activities. Do your teammates or fellow performers or students and teachers and coaches miss you? Do you miss them? Finally, your extended family and friends — the ones you would have seen in person if not for our 2020 coronavirus problem. Who missed you? Who did you miss? Think about what’s important in your life. You might be ready for big changes. Or maybe you just need a manicure or a haircut!

Churches still closed

Churches are still not open, so I’m adding an extra run today and twice as many miles (8) than is my usual. Running with a couple of fast local mayors and friends on a perfect Sunday morning.

Why aren’t churches open yet?

Schools: "Main Priority"

LA County schools plan unveiled. https://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2020/05/27/under-los-angeles-public-school-reopening-plan-students-must-wear-masks-all-day/amp/ Highlights: • "Our main priority is health and safety,” Debra Duardo, the county, superintendent. •classrooms that are too small to allow students to be spaced six feet apart, there should only be 12 students present at one time. •Students may get only a single ball to play with, by themselves. My take: The main priority of a school is EDUCATING CHILDREN. Yes, with health and safety. But never forget the main mission. It's an absurd plan that sets the LA schools on the path to another year of off site education. Best for a parent in a two parent household to quit a job and find a homeschool curriculum that meets his/her family's own needs. Makeshift, ad hoc distant learning is not something public schools are trained for. But few families can make it on just one income and this leaves single parents stuck. I'm sorry, but to move forward we must abandon the social distancing ideal and rely on the masks to protect one another, which especially makes sense with the population that is least affected by this virus. The regular flu was 8.5 times deadlier for children ages 0-14 than the novel coronavirus this year. (See first three comments) Lots of “sciency” facts about the kids and corona are ignored. See the facts in these images.

Is MLB's proposal the first step to playing ball in 2020 -- or the beginning of the end? espn.com I love Major League Baseball but don’t need them to force a fake season upon us to fill TV time. Baseball with no fans? No thanks. Everybody can take a year off.

Were they expecting a magic wand to wipe the virus away? That it would just peter out? “Certainly when we originally made the decision to postpone the marathon to September, we were all very hopeful that the coronavirus would no longer be a significant public health risk for our residents,”
