Don't give up the game.

Difficult day. I mean, it's been okay. Conference call lunch with the office staff was nice, I miss them. Watched a tutorial on playwriting which was also cool. Tree guys came and trimmed the giant silver maple, and I watched them do it.

But I am sore and out of sorts, squirrely. I want to get out into the air. And so that is what I will do.

This ain't no party. This ain't no disco.

For one week, I have had a pain in my neck. a neck strain. I looked up COVID-19 symptoms, which include, of course, muscle soreness. But that is the extent of my symptoms, so I take it to be stress-related. But it has been a week, and there is still a pain in my neck.

Yesterday, The Current played a fine selection of 1980s soundtrack music on Teenage Kicks, from which I created a playlist. I created this playlist to inspire me to run.
