-I am partially furloughed from my job at UW-Madison.
-Essentially this means that I am forced to take four days (32 hours) of unpaid time off between now and the end of October.
-By "firing" me for this short period of time, the institution hopes to save money to compensate for decreased income.
-While I'm disappointed to have reduced income, I am impressed with the equity of campus' response: all staff and faculty are being furloughed together.
-Click here to read the furlough letter that I received: <a href="./furlough.pdf">PDF</a>.

-It's Memorial Day weekend.
-Last night I slept over at my friend Zach's house in Baraboo Wisconsin.
-Given the Wisconsin Supreme Court order, the local restaurants are now open again with reduced capacity (Baraboo is in Sauk County, not Dane).
-For the first time in weeks, I have brunch at a sit-down restaurant: Broadway Diner in downtown Baraboo.
-Things are different.
-They have every-other booth taped off, so customers cannot sit directly next to strangers.
-There are no paper menus, only QR codes to scan with your phone and download a PDF menu.
-There are no condiments, even salt and pepper, unless explicitly asked for.
-Still, it feels so nice to go back to relative normalcy.
-After brunch Zach and I go out to Devil's Lake for a nice long hike.
-There are lots of people enjoying the nice weather, and we see many rock climbers on the bluff.
