      • It’s OK to not be OK - How You Doing? - Stories From Home Episode 128
        Recorded in the beautiful home office, Chateau' Relaxo, FL
        Think back to February 2020
        Kobe Bryant his daughter and 7 others had just tragically died in a helicopter crash. There was this talk of COVID, but for the most part, it was overseas, and no great concern unless you were traveling internationally
        By mid-March, everyone's world was getting turned upside down -
        Everyone was sheltering in place
        You couldn’t buy
        Toilet Paper
        Lysol Wipes
        Paper Towels
        Masks
        Disposable Gloves
        By the end of Spring Break schools just told students to stay home
        No end of the year testing
        Teachers didn’t get to pack their rooms up
        No graduations - One of the Chateau’ Relaxo residents graduated from UCF, The ceremony was virtual, they wore their robe and we snapped pictures as they stood next to the TV when their name was displayed.
        As May approached we were still sheltering in place, and no one knew for how long.
        By the beginning of summer, things were different
        No summer vacations
        Restaurants and bars were closed
        The grocery store now included directional arrows in the aisles
        Your EDC now included a face mask
        Thanks for listening.

        • (REPOST) Niagara Falls Part 2 - Stories From Home Episode 121
          Recorded in the beautiful home office, Chateau' Relaxo, FL.
          Tonight is the second of two reposted episodes. Both episodes got the most downloads of all the posted episodes and both episodes include the CEO of Chateau’ Relaxo, my wife, Jackie.
          Our 2019 vacation, remember those? was to Niagra Falls and the next two reposted episodes detail the experience.
          One of the destination locations that I've never visited is Niagara Falls and in 2019 we did a four-day stay. Of course, we hit all the high spots, but also a few side tours while we were there. Take note if you visit, stay on the Canadian side... believe me, the view is better.
