The amount of deaths is like Six degrees of Kevin Bacon. But it’s not six degrees; it’s two. And it’s not Kevin Bacon—it’s the Grim Reaper. And the deaths are limited to people. The casualties include ma and pa diners, graduation parties, and baseball season.
Sharing Life’s Lumps
Everything I wish I knew about online teaching during the Corona Quarantine but didn’t know who to ask.
