Thanks for posting -- an interesting read.

 

So does his "working farm" not have any livestock? Is it just row crops, I wonder? Maybe dairy.

 

Mostly, this made me want to go back and listen to Aqualung again!

This resonated with me...

 

I’m fortunate, you know — I can understand this would probably annoy a lot of people, understandably, who are locked down in the apartment or the city-dwelling with nowhere to go. I’m in touch with a lot of them friends and acquaintances and other musicians who simply can’t leave their homes. I’m fortunate to live in the countryside; we live on a working farm. So, we have a few hundred acres of fields of woodlands and no shortage of space to enjoy the hopefully imminent spring. So, that breaks up the day — taking the dogs for a walk or taking the cat for a walk and generally enjoying where I live.

 

 

That's close to my situation. I spend the day teaching online, supporting students, but I also take lots of midday hikes, go for a daily jog, and make several trips to the dog park. So glad I don't live in a big city.
