I am still a routine guy. So I am up at 5 A.M. every morning. Usually i report to work at 6:30 A.M. so I can coach in the afternoons. Here at home I am still getting up at 5 A.M. but my only different routine is I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt to work instead of dressier clothes.

Answer:
My daughter, who lives in Charolette who is in for a couple of weeks, we did a yoga session yesterday that tore me up. Normally I am more of a Planet Fitness guy but since we can’t go there we did that yesterday. It was really good and I enjoyed it a lot.

I do a lot of cooking at home. I’m more of a short order cook though. Things like spaghetti. I don’t think I’ve perfected anything yet.
Question:
What is the first thing or place you would like to go or do when this quarantine is over?
Answer:
To be honest with you, just hoping we can get back with the team and start playing some lacrosse. We had a zoom meeting yesterday about what the end of our season, or salvageable part of our season might look like. We are just continuing that hope. But that’s the first thing we are looking to do.
