Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Punishingly Intricate

I made banana bread and a sheet pan frittata for breakfasts this week! I have to take so many long breaks of doing nothing in between any activity, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Took a walk and it greatly improved my mood.

SAME. And I spent an hour in the sun talking to neighbors, instead of a crafting zoom session with my band, which was definitely the right call. I should be practicing trombone more, though. But I've never been good at practicing!

Now watching an ep of Ken Burns' country music which I never watched.

Oh, it's so good.

I haven't baked anything! I should.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

God, yes. I'm currently parked on the couch and just thinking vaguely about making cookies. We were going to take a walk but realized it's raining, which I think is the universe's way of telling me I should be on the couch.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I loved Country Music. It's so interesting how all the threads connect in terms of influence and partnerships.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Not only are the birds louder, I'm also hearing bird calls that I don't normally hear in NYC.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's like a Hitchcock movie.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Now that I have a working sewing machine again, I'm in the mask-making business. So a friend drove down from Lowell, we sat 6 feet apart out in my garden for a little, we took a socially distant walk with her dog, and I felt like I did a good deed, especially because she hasn't had a lot of face-to-face conversations, living alone and retired.

Tomorrow, back to the grind. I suppose it's still technically a holiday here (Patriot's Day (the real one)) even though the Boston Marathon is NOT being held this year, and in fact I gather the cops will be attempting to discourage runners from running it on their own unofficially.

IIRC, the race was still held through two World Wars, this is the first time ever it has been postponed. I sure hope they get to run it in September or October.

Not to make anyone feel bad about their kids, but my 12-year-old neighbor gave his father a really good haircut this weekend!

Thrive to spite them

I need to see if I can get matthew to try buzzing the back and sides of my hair again it's getting long. The top part is getting long and I don't have a problem with that.

Got word that the local Bi Lo grocery store , which I normally don't like, isn't that busy these days so I may go there and get stuff instead of relying on Wal Mart.

We had Zaxby's for dinner tonight. It was nice to have fast food for a change.
