November 9 2020 Update

I'm sure all of us waited with baited breath for the Governor's announcement of additional Covid-19 restrictions after we got the emergency alert on our phones last night.  We will be saying more about that tomorrow, but have provided links to the most recent state documents below.  Otherwise, I hope you are all staying warm in the quick turnover from a late summer to the beginnings of winter (what happened to autumn?).

FUN STUFF

I loved this little acapella rendition of The Lion Sleeps Tonight.  It reminded me of how much fun it can be to sing when led by an amazing conductor.  Maybe we all need a little more "jungle noise" when we feel a bit overwhelmed by it all.

Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
