The One With Rockport

Today, we did our best to try to escape in this COVID shelter in place world. Of course, going anywhere realistically is out of the question....so we take mini trips.
 
Our road trip today took us to Rockport. It was a nice trip. We took subs in the car with us and parked by Motif 1. We sheltered in the care of course, listening to the 80s on 80 Top 40 from 1984. That was fun.

After lunch, we ventured down the road and noticed the sign for the Paper House. Emmie hadn't been there since she was a kid. We went down and checked it out. It is a private residence, but you can see the house off to the side. It was cool.

Then, we went to the granite wharf, which was awesome. It was a neat, rocky wharf that juts out into the Atlantic and has beautiful views.

Finally, we took the "long way home" following 127 through Manchester (by-the-sea), Beverly, and Danvers.

Overall, a nice little diversion excursion.

The One With The One World: Together At Home

Bri, Kiff, Emmie, and I are watching the 2020 version of Band Aid and Live Aid, called "One World: Together At Home."

It is an impressive show put on my Lady Gaga broadcast on ABC, CBS, and NBC among others networks and social media outlets. It is an amazing show and a way to help raise awareness of the WHO solidary fund. Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Cobert are sheltering in place and hosting this. It is amazing.


It is amazing to see the stories of scientists, do-gooders, medical workers, and teachers. 


Right now, one of my former classmates from BC is on - Amy Poehler - at 8:33


Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes are now live at 8:34 doing "Wonderful World."


Other performances were:

• Jimmy Fallon and the Roots doing Safety Dance

• Elton John performing I'm Still Standing

• Paul McCartney singing Lady Madonna (in part in honor of his mother, a nurse).

Thank you to all who are helping us get through this unusual time.
