Fresh air and plenty of social distance
1. Hiking is still permitted for outdoor recreation during the coronavirus outbreak, and this WTOP article has really good tips for doing it safely.
2. Fatherly has some great tips for working from home right now. Yes, you’ve already seen a bunch, but maybe there’s a gem among these you haven’t heard about yet.
3. Synetic Theatre is streaming their 2015 production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. If you’ve never experienced a Synetic show before (or even if you have), I highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity. Like many of Synetic’s productions, it’s a wordless adaptation of a classic. And if it’s anything like others I’ve seen there, it tells a story through beautiful movement, gorgeous lighting, and clever sets. It’s a pay what you can model with “tickets” starting at $5. Older kids can probably enjoy it, too! (FYI: As noted on the website, disregard the time of your ticket — you can watch the performance anytime.)
4. If you had air travel planned during this time or have a reservation for a flight coming up and now won’t be going, this Conde Nast Traveler article has info on your options.
5. The videos of Max Greenfield (Schmidt from New Girl) and his daughter as they homeschool are so good!

I enjoyed the hiking trail information and shared the DC businesses spreadsheet on Twitter.
Hi Amanda – So glad the hiking info is helpful for you. And isn’t that spreadsheet great? Thanks for sharing!
