Not 100% quarantined yet. I live in a small city out in the middle of nowhere that has had several cases show up in the last few days. Starting tomorrow all non essential businesses are being closed.

I have my first T206 Red Cobb supposed to be showing up tomorrow so I hope the mail is still going for one more day. Yes I have stupid priorities.

Default Day 1

Boy I hope that red Cobb shows up tomorrow! I know that would make my day, week, month. I am pulling for you!

Day 1 went about as expected. I woke up and was productive. I "mucked" the area around the pool that we let the dogs excuse themselves in. I cooked two meals and made some food for tomorrow. I cleaned out and vacuumed one car. I watered plants and brought in seeds and the grow lights to start seedlings. My wife did seven loads of laundry and the dishes, and vacuumed like a banshee.

Took a whirlpool and read, again, part of Twain's "The Innocents Abroad".

Then got drunk. Really drunk. Went to sleep at 6:30 PM after taking the dogs for a death-march through the woods to tire them out, which worked on me, not them.

Found a picture today I forgot I purchased of the 1918 Woodsville, NH high school baseball team.

Wishing you all health and a good night's rest.

Tony

Default Poetry

Watched Jojo Rabbit on the plane. Most of it. Left out 30 minutes in the middle because I knew what was going to happen, and didn't feel like seeing it.

At the end, there was a quote by Rilke. Ranier Maria Rilke. My favorite poet, hands down, well, maybe Bukowski.

Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final


Tony
