Ten Things I Have Learned From Being "Quarantined" with Cal

Seven days ago we returned from Bloomington with Meg's college possessions and shortly afterward welcomed Cal home as well.  Since that time period only Doug has left the house making trips to work and to the grocery store.  Although we weren't told to quarantine, we thought reducing our exposure to others was the best way to combact the Coronavirus.  Cal and Cameron both have asthma and I have had multiple boughts with pleurisy, so we didn't really want to take any unneccessary chances.  We do not know what the future will bring or how long we will live in isolation, but for now I have been impressed with how well Cal, Cameron and Meg have handled the situation.  Needless to say I have learned a lot from each of them over the past few days, especially Cal.
