With birds singing outside his window, a pharmacist in Michigan reflects why classic rock still speaks to him more than any other genre. Try comparing notes: he has quite a list of live concerts he's attended. "The art itself, it drew you in and it still does."

"When you have five people and only three doors, people end up in the closet or the bathroom on calls." A medical writer shares a haiku about the COVID-19 quarantine. She has her daughters at home in Philadelphia, but her son is in Nashville-- near his old neighborhood hit by a tornado the year before, and married to a surgical recovery unit nurse. The situation reminds her about laughs, her worries for him, her grandfather, and even September 11.
