COVID Senior Lockdown, Day 34

Oops. After the gale force wind subsided this afternoon I saw a chance to do burgers on the grill. It all went well, and they were delicious. Nice to get out after our dip into the Arctic flow of the last few days. However, Mrs. F and I had busted our butts all day on downsizing chores (yes, it never ends) and had begun to sip the evening martinis while she prepped dinner and I grilled. I’m going to allow that I may have had one more than prescribed because in closing up the hot grill I inadvertently laid my right hand on the hot cover and, well, screamed like a banshee. But, paw laid out upon a frozen ice pack and with significant assistance from the love of my life, I enjoyed a left-handed dinner. Typing, on the other hand (pun intended), is a different challenge and the missus will clean up the typos. She is an excellent editor! Oww. That bang hurt.

Steve Stills is a genius.

Ok Boomer, my ass, Part 2. You guys all think we can’t do tech. And we have played it for years. But, I have to admit, this episode has forced our hand (pun intended). Yes, we do know how to get our voicemails, and return calls to our kids. Yes, we know how to do Zoom Happy Hours (which blew our cover for family dinners with kids). We can play internet bridge and bingo with Mathew McConaughey. We just didn’t want you all to know, dagnabbit!! Oww. That hurt.

There seems to be a Worldwide COVID Concert on every channel tonight. I hope it’s more entertaining than the Elton thing and the Garth thing. Oh my, a puppet is giving me a pep talk. Ok. Hopes dashed. Going to bed after watching a few Amazon episodes of Laugh In. There was a show to make you smile in weird times.

Steve Stills really is a genius.

Ok. Late add. On the Worldwide COVID Concert, the Stones just did You Can’t Always Get What You Want. This is my Favorite Song of All Time. It was a Brady Bunch quad of Mick, Keith, Ronnie, and good old Charlie streaming from their own places and synching perfectly. Charlie is a new Twitter hero for playing air drums with exquisite elan. Well done and I swear I could hear the young boys choiring in the background. The good news is that Keef is still alive! Oww.
