Shows 2020 Philadelphia Auto Show
2020 Philadelphia Auto Show Black Tie Gala

Hard to believe it was a year ago. It feels like 10 years ago, and on top of that, a bit ironic; for someone that nearly never wore a suit outside of a Wedding or Funeral, to actually wear a suit out to an event. Perhaps it really was a funeral…for events?

Still here…hunkered down!

Just figured I’d post up a quick update – I am OK and hunkered down. This is beginning week #3 (I think) of being cooped up in the house. Definitely feeling a little cabin fever now, and last week I lost track of what days were what lol!

I have been getting out; in fact I think I’ve seen more of my neighbors and neighborhood (from a safe distance) more in the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 9 years I’ve lived here. I went from driving 60+ miles a day, to using my car maybe twice a week, if that. I have gotten out on the motorcycle, which has been nice to ride around, but the weather has not cooperated much lately. Its been great to walk around the neighborhood during my lunch hour.

In addition, I’ve been on more video calls in the past 2 weeks than I ever have, probably over my entire lifetime. Its interesting how people who were covering up their cameras 3 weeks ago are now defaulting to them being on.

As someone who almost purposely lives under a rock to a degree, I’ve more or less stayed off the news. It’s all sensationalized; and what little I learn via Twitter or via work has been enough to keep me informed.

I’ve mostly been keeping busy with projects, and hope to get some new posts up soon with recent updates. I even got a new piece of Franklin Institute ephemera to post up.

Last but not least – one thing I do know; once this blows over, I plan to hit up as many of those little niche museums as I can. I’ll make a seperate post to call out a few that are within a reasonable distance from the Philly area, but I hope to support them as much as I can!
