Even Biscuit is showing symptoms.
• Irritability
• Jumping at loud noises
• Barking at Sylvia
He has his own responses to being home-bound.
My escape in this situation usually involves writing. And this morning writing and the manifold effects of COVID-19 collided when I joined a national Zoom conference for a story to be published in the Richmond Pulse newspaper.
The one-hour session was fascinating but fueled my claustrophobia.
Why?
"We have no vaccine. We have no treatment. You just need to stay at home," one doctor said.
It was nearly word-for-word what he said weeks ago in another such session.
As I have been tapping on the keys to write up what a half dozen experts had to say, I implemented another escape strategy.
No, not drinking wine - that's for later.
The escape strategy is listening to music, 60s music usually.
And what song did my computer pick randomly from my music library?
We Gotta Get Out of This Place by Eric Burdon and The Animals.
Yes, I have it on a loop right now.
"We gotta get out of this place,
If it's the last thing we ever do..."
But about Cabin Fever wine.
That bit of fermentation is produced and sold by Hazlitt 1852 Winery in Hector New York, the same Hector where Admiral Fox and I have spent many summers. And we've spent a bit of those summers at the winery, though I must admit in all the hours spent socializing there I have never sampled Cabin Fever.
Well, if we "get out of this place" and back to Hector this summer, I'm buying a bottle.
Now that I think about it, they ship all over the United States.
Cabin Fever to cure cabin fever? Why not?
