I hope all of you are doing well. I'm sure we can all agree that life has become surreal at best with this virus outbreak. And we all have a heightened degree of uncertainty and concern, as well as a newfound appreciation for the common things we might have taken for granted.

It's encouraging to see families and friends pulling together to support one another, even if that must be done at a distance. It is also uplifting to see our government recognizing the economic devastation that temporary loss of jobs and income will inevitably cause, and taking measures to offer some relief with tax payment deferrals and stimulus packages. And I pray that corporate America will realize that customer and employee loyalty is ultimately more important than quarterly financial results. Stand behind your employees in time of need and don't make their lives exceedingly more difficult with loss of job and income.

It's too early to understand the full impact, duration or end result of this developing event. I suspect with the many Hollywood TV and big screen productions like Walking Dead, Fear of the Walking Dead, I Am Legend, Contagion, The Stand, and other post apocalyptic focused fictional works, our minds and imaginations are well primed to imagine the worst. Even more frightening is the thought of biowarfare. But we can't let our imagination and fear take us to that place. We will do well to prepare and follow recommended health practices to minimize this, and have faith and patience that our medical expertise will discover a resolution.

So as we all spend time isolated, quarantined, practicing social distancing, or just needing some relief from the current news, don't forget that we have this avenue to discuss PN-G football and sports, past and present, as well as other community topics. Also remember to reach out and offer support to those who may be isolated or in need of attention. Especially the elderly.

These may be scary times and a reminder that all the common, superficial things in life can be taken away or disrupted in a flash. But are also a reminder that our most reliable and comforting realities in this life are each other.

Stay safe out there, and don't be a stranger. :)

Very true. Totally agree. Of course the CDC doesn’t help when they publish articles about the coming “Zombie Apocalypse” a few years back.

Thanks for the post. I try to visit daily. Its been a whirlwind three weeks for me. I went to Disney to watch the Band march. The virus started to get worse as we were finishing our trip. The park closed two days after we left. I had to leave early as I found out my younger brother passed away in his sleep. Having a funeral at this time is equally a disaster. Some of it was on video only. We have had a tough three weeks and trying to be as normal as a person can right now. It's tough. On a lighter note, the PN-G school district is awesome. Out students are all safely working from home and continuing their education. The local internet company is giving free internet to anyone who needs it during the stay at home time. The teachers did a parade around town today holding signs for the students saying we love you, we miss you, and we hope to see you soon. The Indian spirit was even in one of the vehicles. This is a great place to live and the school district is fantastic.

Matt,

I am saddened by your loss. There are no words that can make it better. I wish you and your family comfort and peace.

It’s encouraging to hear about the community sticking together. PN-G spirit is not just about football, sports, crowds or fight songs. It’s about the heart and soul of the communities. A oneness that others might not see or appreciate.

Kudos to the teachers, administrators, staff, students, athletes and businesses that support the school and community. And special thanks to the first responders who help hold it all together. Especially in these uncertain times. Everyone’s dedication to the greater good of the people, kids and community is inspiring. No matter how far away I live, I will always proudly call Port Neches and Groves ‘home’.
