11. My kids are in North Beach,

Toronto and suburban Chicago. They are not without danger in their locations. I spent most of last night texting them.

The daughter in North Beach is worried about her academic library reopening. She is one of the union people fighting for safety for the workers. She lectures two classes as well. The unrest is not close to her. My son will continue to work from home, even though Illinois is reopening. My youngest says there is unrest, even in Toronto. A lot of her work has dried up. She is a freelance translator, and she works for a government program, too, which has closed for the time being. I just sent her some money. Her husband works from home, but he has a relatively new job.

We remain parents, no matter how old they are.
