Well, it wasn’t really funny and it really wasn’t on the way to Costco. It was a rather disturbing thing and it was at Costco. After listening to all the runs on toilet paper and alcohol wipes, plus thinking we may at some point be cocooned at home because of the Coronavirus, I thought it… Continue reading A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Costco

Coronavirus Fallout
Today three states announced they are closing all public, and some states included private, schools for a minimum of two weeks. In the last 24-hours, the NBA, NHL, and NCAA games were canceled. Baseball has postponed its season opening. Private companies, and some government entities, are having employees telework. This is all well and good,… Continue reading Coronavirus Fallout
For the First Time, I’m Afraid of a Virus
This evening, while texting with a friend, I told him I usually don’t get too worried about the flu and such, but the Coronavirus has me worried. I am afraid of this virus and I’m not sure why. I’ve been trying to figure out what is different about the Coronavirus than Ebola, Swine Flu or… Continue reading For the First Time, I’m Afraid of a Virus
Hospitals Overwhelmed in 10-15 Days
On my way home from work today, I heard a radio interview. The person being interviewed, and sorry I don’t remember who it was, stated if we do not get a handle on the Coronavirus, our hospitals will be overwhelmed within 10-15 days. Listening and reading, many people still believe we are overreacting to this… Continue reading Hospitals Overwhelmed in 10-15 Days
Yang Was Right!
Yesterday we started our exciting journey to finally meet our new grandson! When we arrived at the airport, after all the checking in and going through security, we wanted to get some snacks and some water for the plane. On the way to our gate, there is a snack souvenir bookstore combo along the way.… Continue reading Yang Was Right!
Whom to Vote for Now?
My heart is very heavy. Mayor Pete has suspended his presidential bid. I was sitting in a movie theater scrolling through Twitter and there it was, the announcement. A web search had to be done because I couldn’t believe it to be true. As I confirmed the news, it actually felt like I had lost… Continue reading Whom to Vote for Now?
Dear Mayor Bloomberg,
I keep hearing on TV you seem to be what we call filthy rich where I grew up. I keep hearing you spent over $500,000,000 on ads to promote your run for president. I keep hearing you will spend some of your billions of dollars to help the Democratic nominee for president (and hopefully for… Continue reading Dear Mayor Bloomberg,
Conned, or Good Deed?
Yesterday on my way to visit my family, I stopped to get gas. While getting ready to pump my gas, a car parked at the pump across from me. As probably with all of us, I didn’t pay too much attention to it. That is, until a man appeared in my peripheral vision and startled… Continue reading Conned, or Good Deed?
Coronavirus! Prepared?
I’ll be honest. I don’t get a flu shot. The one time I did, I got the worst case of flu I’d ever had. My body seems to think if I get a shot, I should get sick. Shot for mumps, got the mumps. Shot for measles, got the measles. So I don’t tempt fate… Continue reading Coronavirus! Prepared?
Home Is…
As we are unpacking our boxes—yes, we still have many to go—I keep thinking about what it is that makes a home. I mean a house is a house, and a home can be a house, but can a house be home? In my thoughts, home as house is true, but house as home is… Continue reading Home Is…
