So my thoughts focus on when we can get together again.   You might ask why but I suspect most know.  

The new look for our times...   Venturing outside is a cross between enjoying the outdoors, avoiding people and wondering if anything you touch could infect you.   Stay strong, safe and healthy!

Monday was another birthday.  I was born 2,461,622,400 seconds ago in a raging, flash, New York City snow storm at Women’s Hospital. I came in an innocent at the weight of 9 pounds 8 ounces.  Little did I know! My life’s dark corner stones: Pearl Harbor, “JFK Shot!”, 9/11 and now this presently incurable Pandemic!

Washing my hands will never be the same.Finding paper towels on the supermarket shelf and throwing them into the shopping cart will never be the same.And hugging my family and friends will never be the same.

This past Friday, Gotham hosted a happy hour, via Zoom.  It was fun! "When life gave them Quarantine, Gothamites made Quarantinis."

  Don’t you? I’d like to spend one day not obsessing about washing my hands, the dangers of supermarket shopping or how much time it is going to take to clean my house.

  As we have all can admit, the amount of information bombarding us daily is more than we have ever had before. Whether you get your news by radio (remember those?), print media, television, online websites or social media, the amount of information out there is, to me, insurmountable.  

The phrase titling this blog comes from lyrics in a John Lennon tune. If I just chose the first two words, it recalls the title of The Doors’ second LP, Strange Days, featuring their second hit, “People Are Strange.”
