Derek update.

He's in Brooklyn now and expects to be in NYC until 5/28.

Handling 911 calls.

Derek is a brave young man … you must be very proud Ron … and naturally very worried too …

Positive vibes being sent over the pond … take care my friend

I echo what Colin said. Sending safe loving vibes to you, your family and everyone here in the lounge. What a strange time in our lives.

Talked to Derek this morning.

He's now in the South Bronx.

Doesn't know if he'll come home tomorrow, next week, end of the month.

FEMA is sending home five crews per day, no rhyme or reason to who stays and who leaves.

Derek came home today after three weeks in NYC.

He's a hero and I am so proud of him.

That is GREAT news, Ron! God bless our heroes!

Excellent news indeed Photo!

Hope all is still well with all the Loungers! 😀

Excellent news Ron … best wishes to the young man!

Hope all is still well with all the Loungers! 😀

Hey Coot … with a supressed immune system I am keeping my ass indoors away from it all … keeping myself amused by gradually going through my ABB collection - well as much as Jan will let me

Hope you are keeping well too Steve!

a little late for me to react to the news Ron, but that is great news.

Please tell the young man, that as a father to a son who currently resides in Manhattan,
I am very appreciative of his work and the enormous risk he undertook to help others.
Thanks again.

Good morning Loungers!!!! ...and Coot.... 😀

FRIDAY

Sunday.

Three weeks later.

Someone dust the bar and get the cobwebs out of the corners.

I keep looking in the door but I think the bartenders have all gone on lockdown …..

Colin, check your PMs. 😀

Sunday.

Three weeks later.

Someone dust the bar and get the cobwebs out of the corners.

Where can a person get a drink around here?!! They've closed the bars again here in Florida!!

Our case numbers are skyrocketing but honestly think I had this virus back in October. I was really sick with bronchitis and upper respiratory infection and it left me with no energy for almost a month. It was the strangest cough I've ever had. So I'm hoping I have some antibodies but currently nowhere to get tested for that.

It's getting harder to make sense of all that is going on this year. I hope and pray all of you are doing well. Love you guys!

Glad to hear you are ok Peg ... as I have a repressed immune system I am still advised to shield myself until August 1st ... I am allowed out for walks in the countryside and can meet up to 5 other people whilst out provided that I keep at least 6 feet away from them ... I am not allowed to go into other peoples homes nor are they allowed into mine, and as my kids live 200 miles away which is too far for a day trip, I still can't get to see them. But I am well and alive and intend to follow the rules so that I stay that way.

Best wishes to all ...

Colin, check your PMs.

Seen and responded Steve ...

Hi Colin! Glad to hear you are doing well and 'following the rules' to stay healthy. I stay home pretty much of the time, too. Being retired makes it easier. I have more time to listen to all my music and I've taken up diamond art kits. Kinda like paint by number but with little gemstones. It's therapeutic and fun.

I wonder a lot about Masahiko. He hasn't posted here in such a long time. Do you seen him on Facebook? If you do, please tell him I said hello and was thinking of him.

Hang in there.

Greetings Loungers!
