Your Vacation, Conference, Workshop, Training Class, Graduation, Wedding, Cruise, Anniversary Is Hereby CANCELLED!

So many planned events, work, school, personal, pleasure are now not going to happen.

Everyone is sending out emails to people and participants who where invited or already scheduled to attend thousands upon tens of thousands of events. 

There are plenty of disappointments all around. Our own 50th wedding anniversary is April 4. No dinner out, no weeklong get away, no family and friends. ...  It will be so romantic, locked down in our own home. Maybe some candlelight -- hopefully not due to a power outage.

Sorry about all the disappointments -- I think everyone will have some.
