How are you doing? The last 72 hours have affected all our lives in ways we have only seen play out in Hollywood. Ok, that's a bit dramatic, but in some ways, all our daily lives have been interrupted.
Currently, I am in quartine from my radio gig, and doing my show from home, my wife's company has their employees working from home till further notice.
