Many years from now, when Donny Osmond dies, I shall weep uncontrollably

 I can’t take any more bad news! - Lisa

So those people that are searching for toilet paper now... are you gonna buy a lil extra this time to avoid problems or are you gonna do what you told everybody else to do and just buy for your immediate need?

If you buy some extra this time around are you free to be ridiculed? Do for your own and stop assuming anyone’s gonna leave you SHIT. STOCK UP when you see it. I’m ALWAYS gonna provide for MINE, zero guilt

Don’t forget cpap distilled water. It’s a life saving machine for many and has been very very rare. I won’t judge you if you buy extra. What’s in your cart is your business and what’s in mine, my business - Lisa

Sidewalk Chalk and Covid 19

A couple of days ago Ginger and Lisa, bored by the quarantine, decided to decorate our sidewalk

 Our bank is closed. A bank isn’t essential? I mean I guess I understand but a text notice or something would have been nice. - Lisa

 

Covid Takeout

Yesterday I ordered needlessly expensive pizza I didn't really want or need from a local place that's lost most of its business in the quarantine - and I even tipped on the carryout . #CoronaHero

Black Christmas

In summary: a group of man hating college feminists are the victims of disproportionate and violent retaliation by those they demean and oppress.

It wasn't awful to watch, and mildly entertaining even, but no one will recall this dreck in five years.

Do better, Hollywood. 

TIGER KING

TIGER KING is a 7 part docuseries about Joe Exotic, a big cat breeder convicted of hiring someone to kill animal activist Carole Baskin - who herself may have got her start by killing her husband and feeding his body to tigers.

It's a somewhat rambling and unstructured walk through a village of idiots, but it is also a thorough and riveting tale that will keep you interested. 

And, a Netflix miracle: by the end you are either rooting for Joe, or rather somewhat sympathetic to his fate, largely because you grow increasingly skeptical of Baskin's motives and history as the series unfolds.

Worth a binge watch during the quarantine.

For anyone feeling guilt, know this: We are eating and sleeping and staring at screens as much as possible through this and I’m 100% ok with it.

You don’t have to keep up with anyone. Keep peace in your households. They’ll be time to make-up whatever anyone gets behind in. Just love each other.

Evers and Covid

Other than in the heat of an election, I have always been able to acknowledge when a political opponent does well. In that vein, Tony Evers has done a pretty good job managing the state's Covid 19 reaction. Kudos to him.

RIP Kenny Rogers

Sad news tonight, as Kenny Rogers, a country music legend and icon of my youth, passed away yesterday.  He was 81.

My Mom was a huge fan and Rogers' 8 track was ubiquitous in our flat. At some point early in my youth, well before I was ten, my parents took me to one of his concerts. I only remember a fleeting second of the show, but I'm glad I went.

I also remember the whole family going to see his movie SIX PACK in 1982. 

Anyway, rest in peace sir. You made many lives better with your music.

Spenser Confidential

Although nominally related to the books of the late great Robert B Parker,  SPENSER CONFIDENTIAL merely takes the names of some RBP characters,  changes everything about them, and tosses them into a standard issue action feature.

So A - Parker's family sucks for being such absolute sellouts and 

B - it ain't half bad

 Lol I love the at home humor that keeps popping up. Refreshing! - Lisa

Visiting The Vet Mid-Quarantine

I took Huckleberry to the vet for a follow-up today and dealt with the oddest consequence of the Corona quarantine to date.

I was prohibited from entering the building, as were all owners. Once in the parking lot I had to call the vet and notify them I was there. After a few minutes someone came out and removed Huck from the car and took him in for shots he may or may not have actually received, since I didnt see them administered. 

The clerk then called my phone and collected payment, and subsequently walked Huck out.

Just nutty.
