I'm sorry, askye. Our whole consumer spending based economy is not looking like a good idea these days. We are at a point where we are trying to guess what Black Friday sales will be like so we can arrange for appropriate production and I keep wondering if that'll even be a thing this year or if everyone will just be out of money by then...
Right. Sir. Honey.

So what are people doing this most peculiar holiday weekend?
What are your plans for the birthday, sj? I know it is usually a much different occasion.
Otter Lake will have their annual boat parade, which is often hysterically tiny, but maybe more vibrant this year. Not sure if I will be on the party barge with the family or in a kayak. The official fireworks event has been canceled in Old Forge, but the past few nights have been very loud and colorful. I can only imagine how the weekend will be. I'll try and get out on the lake at night to watch the show.

Laura, we've ordered cooked lobsters from the local butcher and a cake from the bakery. After dinner we're going to watch Hamilton. If ltc could keep the tantrums to a minimum it should be a good social distancing birthday.

Nice! Sounds like a perfect plan.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Both Brendon and I were tested for Covid in the last few days, and we are both Negative.
Good news!
I am excited to see people this weekend, more than I have done since March, but still all outside. Family today, friends tomorrow.

That sounds nice, sj.
I am weirdly missing Breakfast at Wimbledon. I'm sure I'll be a little sad about the fireworks etc not happening tomorrow but right now it's tennis that is getting me down. And I've missed watching many many times, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

So far ltc has thrown at tantrum every time someone calls to wish me a happy birthday because she's not the center of attention.

I am going to spend today on the phone with insurance companies over a minor fender bender I had last night, and have a carpenter over to FINALLY get my hammock stand in working order. Saturday is the farmers' market, maybe a picnic, and avoiding the fireworks celebrations like the plague. Well, I guess the idiom is pretty apt in this case.

Yo, ltc! Suck it up child, this is Mom's day!

I keep telling her that.
