Watching "One World: Together at Home"
By Daddy
Las Vegas — I was having trouble sleeping and as I often do, I started working on today's news leads. I somehow missed the One World: Together At Home concert last night however there it was on the Netflix's latest episodes menu. The perfect companion as I did my publication work. Brava to Lady Gaga and each and every one of the multitude of "old souls" that made it happen! Several of the segments brought tears to my eyes.
A big part of my survival (do I dare say: "Sanity?)" is that I've been keeping busy. I've designed a new workstation credenza that reuses an Ikea cube I already have, and adds another cube from Ikea that should be delivered on Wednesday. A bit of plywood that I can get from home depo where they'll do the three cuts I need done and some strategically placed 6" velcro circles will be the foundation for Ikea inserts I'll be reusing from other cubes. It has occupied my mind and in a few days will occupy my hands as I put a finish on the plywood and assemble the parts.
We have a dearth of reviews because of the novel coronavirus self-quarantine rules in effect in most localities. There are signs that we're past the worst of the coronavirus however it's a little too soon to relax yet. As Dr. Fauci says: "It's no time to back off yet. Please: Be Safe, Be Sane, Be Healthy!
I'm still watching my pennies, hopefully my flirt4free commission check will show up in the mailbox today.

We should be shooting him. But there he was, looking like a Tom of Finland illustration come to life, but smiling and giggling like a 9-year-old.
