So, let& #39;s get some positivity going. What& #39;s the thing you& #39;ve had to go without or reduce because of coronavirus, that you are surprised that you can apparently live WITHOUT.
For me, shockingly, it& #39;s been sports.

It& #39;s possible that I have underestimated the emotional scarring that happens daily watching my crappy teams lose. It& #39;s like a giant feeling of perpetual FAILURE has been removed from my life.
And, without games, it means it& #39;s been a month since I& #39;ve been screamed at by Stephen A., or been forced to read some crusty sportswriter who is just hoping one day white players could rule the earth again.
Plus I haven& #39;t had to throw my lot in with some Trump-supporting, rapacious billionaire owner, or some star player who turns out to be a sexual predator, or raging homophobe, or racist Confederate, who I nonetheless want to "succeed in his profession" because he plays ball good.
So... yeah, who knew. Who knew HGTV was a suitable replacement for ESPN.

Obviously when this is all over, I& #39;ll be back to wasting vast stores of emotional energy, and likely taking days off my life, rooting for the New York Wilpons to not screw everything up again.
