Coronavirus Shutdown Things to Do.

Things to do during the coronavirus cancellations of school, sporting events, cruises, etc.

1. Call your mother.

2. Read the one book you've said you would get around to for years, but haven't. Now is the time.

3. Write a letter (or email) telling someone important to you now or before, telling them how you feel and why. Maybe it's your H.S. football coach, Math teacher, Scout Leader, aunt and uncle who helped you with something, your Marine Corps NCOIC, Commanding Officer, platoon mates.

4. Wash and wax your spouse/love interest/mom and dad's/grandparent's car.

5. Write a letter and say your sorry for something you may have done or that happened that ended an important friendship. Maybe it wasn't your fault. Maybe it was. Write it anyway.

6. Organize all those old family pictures in the garage or closet. You've put it off for two hundred seventy-seven years already. Isn't it time?

7. Eat healthier by cooking at home.

8. Walk or other exercise in the morning. Every morning.

9. Clean out the garage/shed/basement.

10. Go through your closet, get rid of stuff you don't wear or doesn't fit anymore.

11. Find the three to ten best movies ever made about your favorite sport(s). Make watching them a substitute for the tournament games you're not going to see.

12. Learn the names of every elected official in your district in the city or county. Who are your state legislators? What congressional district are you in? Who is your congressman? Senators? The President of the US, VP, POTUS' Chief of Staff? Speaker of the House? House MInority Leader? Senate Majority and Minority Leaders?

13. Call the nearest veteran's home. Ask what they need during the crisis. Take up a collection and bring it. Some of them old codgers are locked in with no visitors. Must suck. Can you make things a little better?

14. Bake cookies. Make waffles. Bake a cake. Bake a pie.

15. Get out a map. Mark the places you've been in blue, the places you want to go in red. The places you've lived in orange. Have your love make their own list. Compare.

16. Make lists of things you can do.

17. Call your mother again. You forgot to tell her you love her.

18. Have a great day! Good bless.
