pain relief. I wanted to call my neighbors and invite them to stop by for a beer and praise my hard work. No, can’t do that, as everyone
is homebound. If I would send them pictures, they would say I Photoshopped them. So, I sat back down, and consumed the rest of my medication.
I don’t give up easily. I have not been an avid book reader, so now is the perfect time to start. Oops, the libraries are closed. Not to be daunted, I began downloading a book from Amazon Prime. Unfortunately, I am not alone. With millions of folks jumping on the internet for lockdown entertainment, the internet downloads at pre 1980 speed. Solution! Wake up at 2 AM and begin the process. But after weighing the benefits of sleep over downloading, sleep won out.
Someday soon, we will look back on these trying times and have a few laughs at how spoiled we had become, particularly when it comes to entertaining ourselves. The good things that have come from this horrible virus is that people are re-connecting. Whether it’s sitting down with your ENTIRE family at dinner, calling an old college buddy you haven’t spoken to in years, or just resting on your front porch, waving at neighbors. That is all good.
Stay safe and stay well. Remember when Saturday club breakfasts resume, you could have one of the cleanest Porsches there.
I hope to see you on the road, real soon.
