PAUSE

It was 20 days ago, March 20th, that Gov. Cuomo instituted PAUSE meaning Policies to Assure Uniform Safety for Everyone.  It was a lockdown, a voluntary, non-enforceable one but 'the ultimate step', a lockdown.  Only essential businesses would be allowed to have employees at work; all non-essential employees must work from home; all residents must remain indoors except for essential activities.
 
I personally did not heed the warning and I discovered the consequences when I went on the scale yesterday.  If I were this President I could say 'who knew'.
Yeah, but everybody knows about stress eating.
So I'm exercising and eating right.  Today I had Alexa play me some Louis Armstrong as I walked around my 600 sq. foot apartment.  I got to 1300 steps, perhaps because  Alexa played 'Hello Dolly' and 'Summertime' before I shut her off.  I'll try again later with the BEE GEES.

In the meantime I'm chilling and planning the end of my PAUSE.
I'm going to Venice, this place, where they make a decent Martini:
