It's gosling season. He takes a brisk run through Forest Hill Park, having to make a wide berth so as not to get attacked by hissing parental geese.
First reports (i.e. social media chatter) suggested runners pose a greater risk of transmission, due to the immense clouds of moisture particles they give off into the air.
Some experts believe (see sources below) that this is not the case, if running outside, as these emissions are swiftly diffused. He would have to run next to an infected runner for about five minutes to contract the virus.
And yet, he runs into the grass, or onto the street, to provide at least ten feet of distance between himself and anyone sharing his path. This isn't possible, however, in the woods, so he just closes his mouth and looks down, which everyone knows is just as effective as wearing a mask.

Lemon cake for breakfast. His wife had made one for family friends, one for them. Saturday night he had made a loaf of potato bread and a batch of cookies because he was bored. Those went in about two days. In the past two months he has gained ten pounds.
His dreams have been vivid, active. Full of crowds. He only dreams about people and places that he never usually encounters during the day. Last month it was the parking garage at work, which he last visited on March 16. Now it is theater performances. Memories of his dreams leak into his waking thoughts.
Time to dress for work.
