Wow, I bet Adam will be relieved to sell that house! We’re in the process of looking for a new house with the idea of moving to something with fewer stairs for our older age. Very low inventory here though, and we (or at least one of us) wants to stay in this area. And of course we have less money every day now with the way the mutual funds are going...
TV - We’re binging on The Wire, which we missed when it was first on years ago. Just finished Season 3 of The Handmaid’s Tale. We also watch Idol and Rachel Maddie. I ‘ve been recording Survivor but haven’t watched an episode yet this season, so maybe that’s a sign for me to give it up.
We’ve been looking forward to our trip to India and Bhutan and are still scheduled to leave on Monday, but Bhutan has closed its borders to tourists at least for a while, so the nature tourism company we’re going with is trying to quickly put together some substitutes destinations in India. Not sure if it will work out. If they cancel the tour, our money will be refunded, but if we cancel, it won’t be, and travel insurance won’t pay unless we’re sick or something. Damn. It’s a big chunk of money... so, lots of stress here!
Wish I had a local Adam friend I could sit down and chat with, but no luck. I have to be somewhat sneaky to even post here! You guys don’t know how lucky you are!
Stay healthy!

I found that really interesting. What a difference photos can make and I have to say, I really agree with the new listing agents change of focus based on aspects of the house/vicinity itself. Must be a relief for Adam.

Well I would like to say I was a bit emotional when Mayor Pete bowed out just before Super Tuesday. I had already decided to cast my vote for another but I was so proud of his run. I hope he opened a few more eyes to the fact that gay men are more than their sexuality. They are not trying to sleep with every man they come in contact with so you can put your fears and harmful stereotypes aside. It is time to grow up. Gay, straight or whatever, we all have relationships but that is not the whole of who we are. Mayor Pete is a talented, impressive and smart man. I hope he has a role in the next administration if he desires one. His visibility in politics is much needed. I feel the same about Adam in music and entertainment. They are both great role models. I really hope to hear more from Mayor Pete in the future.

I have a sister in Seattle who is in the center of the virus outbreak. Schools and universities have gone online. Businesses such as Amazon, Microsoft Boeing are work from home. this affects so many businesses who depend on people using their services. They are staying home these days and hoarding supplies like everyone else. My brother in law and sister was hoping to go the NFL draft in Vegas and take in one of Adam's shows. Now they will not be doing this.I
I am hopeful for the upcoming Vegas shows.

Yes, that article about Adam's house is really interesting - how real estate agents need to emphasize different things for different houses, and how photographs make a huge difference
About the shows - I started the conversation, but I'm glad others expanded on it. I too like to watch some sports, as well: tennis and snooker are my favourites. I like winter sports as well - been watching a lot of ski jumping this season, lol. The thing is, I don't watch TV, only what I can find on the internet, so I usually watch sports and documentaries only when I visit my parents - then, I usually watch Animal Planet, BBC Earth, NatGeo Wild - I love nature and animal documentaries the best. I also (fairly recently) watched the first season of One Strange Rock - that is a breathtaking documentary about the planet Earth, with incredible footage, inspiring stories, I've never really seen anything like it - if you have the chance, it's really wonderful, I highly recommend it. I think there'll be a second season, but I'm not sure. I found it online. When it comes to reality shows, I don't watch those. I used to watch RuPaul's Drag Race, but I'm behind a couple of seasons now, and I'm finding it difficult to get back to it. Maybe over the summer... There is also a UK version of that show now, I haven't seen it yet.
