Mid-Day Musings – June 8, 2020

New York just announced schools will be able to hold outdoor graduation ceremonies starting June 26th.  Last Wednesday was the first day since March 12th with no COVID-19 deaths in New York City.

Elmo stepped up this weekend to help us understand racism. “Sesame Street” and CNN teamed up for a town hall Saturday morning about “Standing Up to Racism” . . . and it started out with Elmo learning about racism from his dad, Louie.

To cheer her kids up, a mom in New York has been redesigning the covers of famous children’s books to make them coronavirus themed.  And they’re a hit on Instagram.  For example, she reworked “Green Eggs and Ham”, so it’s “Green Eggs and Wash Your Hands.”
