Molasses burger sounds good to me. Not very far off from some bbq sauces (I am the opposite of a bbq purist)

I ordered an assortment of pastas (pizza place offers a meal that's sort of a sampler of pasta dishes + a salad, I jumped on that for my post-Passover meal) but I don't think it's coming for a while. I suppose I could check.

Sad about Brian Dennehy.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday ND! You join my mom(4/14), my eldest nephew(4/15) and me(4/17) in the mid-April birthday club.

I miss being able to go out.Not even in the sense of going to a concert or movie, though that would be nice, but just going out to run errands. Gary's been doing the food shopping and such. Other than going to work, I don't get out much.

Happy Birthday, ND!

Wisconsin's stay at home order just got extended to May 26th and the kids' school has been cancelled for the rest of the year.

I am not remotely surprised--I was expecting an announcement by tomorrow. My kids miss the structure and I miss the kiddos at the library. They will probably start up a curbside thing at the library but that will mostly be circulation aids working that--and they get less hours than I do, so I will not take any of those. I may have *just* enough personal leave and sick time to cover my pay for the whole period, and DH continues working from home.

So we are definitely in a safe spot, with enough room in the house not to be on top of each other. But this is going to be rough, regardless.

And I'm now overthinking the political ramifications because the economic and political blow back will be placed firmly in our Democratic governor's lap by the GOP controlled state assembly.

And I saw a clip of Dennis Miller joking about marinating a steak in hydroxychloroquine with Sean Hannity and I want to punch his smug face off.

Officially losing it: I am listening to the Extra Hot Great Podcast, with Sarah D Bunting, Tara Ariano, and David T Cole, and found myself thinking, "Whatever happened to Wing Chun?"

If you don't know who any of these people are, this will make no sense.

MBTV alums, yah?

Our wardrobe head posted the following about Brian Dennehy::

Dear Brian,

There was never a day when I didn't look forward to coming in to work with you.

Thank you for gluey eyebrows.

Thank you for pockets full of mashed up bananas.

Thank you for remembering about my family & my life even if years had passed since the last show.

Thank you for the cookies, the cookies with the sugar on top.

Thank you for the you we knew.

p.s. The stuff that happened on stage was great too!

Much love, Jenee' 💛

McMasters is opening up public boat ramps. And 2 people (but only 2 people) of different households will be allowed to be on a boat together, people in the same household can have more people in a boat. Public beaches remain closed but I think they will be lifting more and more restrictions.

If you don't know who any of these people are, this will make no sense.

But MBTV held a place in my heart! Of course I do!

MBTV alums, yah?

Yup.

Aw, that's so sweet and sad, aurelia.
