F- FDR……been watching this extraordinary American leader on Ken Burns series on The National Parks: America’s Best Idea (most likely is) ……the man led us through The Depression and the War of the Worlds with calm, aplomb, grace and character…. makes me weep….
G-first Grocery trip in four months this past week….it was like going to Vegas for the first time…. lights, people, glitz, muzak, masks…. had to drag TQ out of there kicking and screaming after an hour plus…. thought they would shoot us
with our two brimming (wiped down) baskets at the self-express checkout line……where do you store that much food?
H-Haircuts not had since the start of the year…. starting to resemble late 70s Orlando of Italy look…. The Queen has had enough of hair bunchies and getting an outside masked- haircut this week from our personal Cockney stylist
I-Idiot- fill in the blank______________
J- Jenn: up at six today to work on the gardens…. now putting the kayak racks on the Subaru….to stay on until The Pandemic gone…. relentless……
K- KFC….is it socially acceptable to make under cover of night trip to get this in Vermont?……………..feeling the Jones….
L- Leaking is our life (not bodily….at least not as of today) …. finally got all our house leaks fixed and immediately sprung new ones in basement from heavy rains and poor grading…. earth moving is in our immediate future….
M-Music-less without my Band buds……reverted to working on songs I started to write in 1973 (like Neil Young- see below)

V- Vacations……are they just gone now?
W- Walmart…. put on our masks, gloves and goggles and ran in and out of the local old style Mart to pick up online order…. could see the cooties in the air……parking lot observation: men in large pick up trucks do not wear masks…
X- Xcellent……the view from the front door of The Inn of the waxing and waning moon over the mountain pines…
Y- YIKES……45 thousand new cases a day…and Europe is banning us from coming…even without a wall
