Did Dave’s radio show on Skype. Blab [the streaming service he had been using] folded. Seems there are a lot of people scurrying to find a place to stream. The guest was Arlene Mickley—a veteran caregiver whose husband had a stroke and was in her charge for 14 years. She and Dave had met at a stroke support group and have kept in touch for years.

Eddie had a shoot today in La Quinta, which is south of Palm Springs, for a promotional video for time-sharing condos on a PGA golf course. Long day for him. He drove down yesterday and won’t get home tonight ‘til after midnight.
