Love in the Time of Corona

Welcome to Corona-land:

Happy Mother’s Day to all, for whom the Foo shits. Since I can’t really even fathom what day it is anymore, it is difficult to conjure a Blog about the past week…. what should I say? …………………got up…took a shit……let Lucy out…let Lucy in…. checked my e-mail…. made an English muffin…. had another small shit…made a few calls……hung some pictures…. searched for missing items The Queen has hidden in her baskets………talked to the realtor…..took a nap…read a book…mowed the yard to keep up with the neighbors’ four times a week mowing…took a faux shit(just gas)….Blah, Blah, Blah….you got the point..

So, what to do? How about The Blogs’ TOP FIVE Coronaesque Good, Bad and Ugly??????????…. Yes, Yes…. please Ferlin’…tell us about the TG, TB&TU

THE GOOD (editors’ license to name six)

1. No Schedule to conform to
2. Netflix, Prime TV, PBS, HBO, Showtime
3. Having TWO HOUSES to work on to keep us busy (not to mention a third to keep track of)
4. Family time-seeing Bebe Sloane (and her parents) 2- times week ……Max being here for seven weeks
5. Zoomin’
6. The surprising and virtuous leadership of Cuomo, DeWine, Newsom, Whitmer…and all the Governors who have stepped up to fill The Void

THE BAD (even more editors’ license)

1. No Schedule to conform to
2. No Sports…not even Pro Bowling to watch
3. Little Income
4. Not seeing Quin-Lily and New Baby Harper (and their parents) …and Max going home
5. No GYM
6. Waiting for on line orders to get here (Amazon excepted)
7. Losing John Prine

THE UGLY

1. The pathetic leadership from the White House and all its Talking Heads
2. All The M
3. “ME” people- buying all the TP and disinfectant wipes, gun carrying twats demanding their personal freedoms
4. All forms of HazMat Gear
5. 24/7….and I mean 24/7 for months …… with your loved one

Had a birthday last week…. presents from friends and family keep dribbling in as the efficiency of the beleaguered mail systems will allow…. Jennifer yesterday received an overdue package and gave me a poster (which we spend 2-3 hours fighting about where to put up) that probably says it all about RELATIONSHIPS in the Time of Corona:

                                                                      In spite of ourselves…………We’ll end up a’ sittin’ on a rainbow
                                                                     Against all odds…………Honey, we’re the big door prize

                                                                     We’re gonna spite our noses……………Right off of our faces
                                                                     There won’t be nothin’ but big old hearts…………Dancin’ in our eyes.

That’s all she wrote (“Dear John- please send my saddle home”)…………………………….Stay Safe
