Nineteenth Entry Sunday, April 5th, 2020 I lie still, taking in this new day. Quiet. Not one passing car. No sounds of radiators, revelers, neighbors, contractors, car alarms, or crows. Not even a fly or a child in the playground. After a while, I...

The Covid Entries began in late March 2020 as a subset of Delayering, the ongoing project which started shortly after 9/11/2001. The Covid Entries (CE) are short essays with general observations, impressions, bits of news and a snapshot from that day. Occasionally there is a short audio ‘ramble’. The Entries cover the quietest weeks in New York City from late March till early May.
