I think that’s what the governor of NJ said. The drawback is liquor stores in NJ are packed. When you pull into the parking lot you get a chit and wait until texted to go inside - the wait is usually an hour. 

I started to go on Fridays between 6am and 7am for groceries. The store isn’t that crowded, maybe 5 customers and 3-4 staff. It’s a local, independent grocery store, not a chain. Apparently the Shop Rite, Acme, Pathmark and Whole Foods stores are packed and having difficulty stocking the shelves, so I’m avoiding them…

I have weird anxiety dreams usually just before I get up in the morning. They’re vivid, in color and filled with allegory that I can’t really figure out. The dreams usually involve people I know or knew in my youth, teens and early adulthood and involve incidents (actual, modified based on a actual incidents or…

Our two cats haven’t changed their routine too much. They still wake up at 5:30am for breakfast and then I go back to bed. During the first week they freaked out and jumped on the bed, poked their nose in my ear and tapped me on the shoulder hoping that I’d get up when I didn’t get up at my usual 7am.

Based on data. As opposed to what exactly?

The gym I attend started hosting IG Live events 2-3 times a week with modified body weight workouts for a running time of 45 minutes. Lots of lunges, squats, pushups and crunches. The emphasis is on core stability and strength with some cardio (jumping jacks, star jacks, duck walks, etc) to get a good sweat. The…

Just went to the grocery store this morning at 6:30am and one shopper was loading up on TP. Some people just don’t get it, or in the case I saw, maybe a control issue. I dunno.

you forgot about the part of documenting it and sharing it across the interwebs for everyone else to witness their dumb shit behavior.

One became sick and the other died. But, hey, one less vote for the GOP in the general election. 

The gym I attend (or attended) allows members to freeze their memberships for a period of time. So I put a halt on membership for a month, but I have a feeling the freeze will go on for 8-10 weeks. 

My gym is trying remote (modified) HIIT classes at noon and 5:30 daily via IG and streaming the playlist. Seems like a good idea, no weights needed unless you have them handy. The only thing is, I’m an old fossil (OK Boomer) so I’m not sure how to rig up my phone to view the IG stream and hear the music stream. But I…

The cats have already adjusted. They’re up at 5:30am and ready to breakfast. And if I don’t get out of bed “right now, damnit!” I get cold wet noses in the ear with lots of purring. 

It’s true. Sub in white wine for broth for a cup or less. What’s the worse that could happen?

Meh. Not really that spectacular. I can get better rates on Hotwire and I’m not paying a fee. But, not a bad idea/service.

This has been happening for plenty of election cycles - at least since the ‘80's when Bush was running for reelection and probably earlier. It’s called WAM - walking around money. An operative from the campaign goes to a community leader, like a pastor of a large congregation, and asks him to tell his congregation the…

Years ago I applied for a job at a publishing firm or marketing firm (can’t remember) and the interview went well until the HR person said I needed to take a typing test just down the hall. This was back in the IBM Selectric III days. I said sure, but I need to use the rest room first. So I left the room went down the…

Using a kettlebell or weight is a good counterbalance, takes the stress off the knees. 

5G? faster than when you upgraded from a modem to DSL back in the Clinton administration. But the signal is at such a high frequency that it only travels a short distance and it is easily blocked by any opaque surface - like concrete or wood. Plus 5G is in the same frequency as broadcast TV so many local television…

Oversharing is one of those things that needs professional help to overcome. I don’t know where I read that, but I’m sure it’s a real thing.

I always make that mistake and rarely proof before sending. We Windows people are semi-literate.
