No More What If And What If

Listen to "No More What If And When" on Spreaker. June 24 2020 Do you physically know anyone that hasn’t being wondering, “What if and when if?” How much will we change when it does? I can stop asking. A Covid-19 case has made an appearance in places we had hoped it wouldn’t. Hearing the news about someone we love brought on the natural reactions. Not shock!

Such as the lone person at grocery stores spending an entire shift spraying down the carts. It reminds me of the people that hold the stop and slow signs at a road construction site. That’s the only thing you have to do today? It killed me to play 16 to 20 songs an hour on the radio but I could only talk over three song intros. The rest of the time was spent watching the computer mix the music. While preparing this morning story today I stopped for a moment to take a sneak peek at Facebook. I need to change the opening sentence. Do you physically know anyone that hasn’t been wondering? Yeah that one. The news just picked up has to ask an even tougher question.
