Who Do You Wear a Mask For? Alexis S‡nchez-Ortiz (holding his son Apolo) Age: 39 Occupation: Engineer/Program Manager City of residence: Woburn, MA Most challengingÊthing part of covid19? I miss Caipirinhas' day at my local bar :( All kidding aside the most challenging thing for me is the alteration of all routines. It makes it harder for me to plan and easier to procrastinate. Ê Are there any unexpected positives from covid19? Working mostly from home is allowing us to be all together. For the first time I feel I am really able to spend time with the kids. I am enjoying being able to multitask and, for example, feed Apolo while being on a conference call. I will miss that when these crazy times are over. who do you wear a mask for? To protect my family and myself.

Spruce was named after the bar that my husband and I met at (Spruce Street Tavern). We love Spruce because he is the most friendly, lovable pup! Whenever we go on walks, he demands that he gets pet by each person we come across (some people don't always love that and we apologize!). It makes for a much longer walk, but it makes him so happy and that's all we want.
