During my last conference call, while my coworker was on video presenting to ~40 of us, his preschool daughter broke into his home office with a ukelele and played it while singing, as he chased her around the room in his roller chair apologizing profusely. I am so HERE for these wonderfully entertaining work-at-home moments and not looking forward to boring old corporate office meetings without ukelele intermissions.

Pandemic pup
Has anyone else adopted while home on lockdown? We're looking at a hound from Lucky Dog rescue. We’ve been in touch with them about a dog listed for adoption and are taking it slow with a few introduction meetings and trying to understand what we're in for. Howard is described as a high-energy dog. The adoption coordinator shared some info about how he interacted with the trainer's dog: she "let her cattle dog out. She really doesn’t like him. She herded him, snapped at him, and he loved it. Just ran joyfully around the room thinking it was the best thing ever."
Consider donating to Lucky Dog or another dog rescue of your choice.

Medieval covers of current songs
