There seems to be a small percentage of people out there
protesting the virus restrictions. The latest polls say the percentage of people
who disagree with the needed restrictions is less than 20% which means the
protesters are an even smaller percentage. Before self-important liberals leap
to their default accusations, the poll tracked the same percentage across party
lines. Of course the protests gets main stream media coverage instead of
labeling what it is – a fringe movement. This is part of my long term problem
with the major news media outlets. They give major coverage to what amount to a
small bunch of idiots deciding to provide definitive proof of their stupidity.
Instead they are purveyed as a major push back against quarantine policy,
something that is just not true.

| BRS - Post Cinnamon Roll |
I think we should engage these protesters as a
useful tool in the fight against the virus. We should make them the initial
test pool for President Trump’s suggestion yesterday that we inject Lysol into
our veins to fight the virus. Can someone please explain to me how this buffoon
ended up in charge? If nothing else we should be given a prima facie case to
see Darwin’s theory of natural selection at work. Regrettably the true heroes
of our time, the health care workers, will be exposed while these failed specimens
are ushered out of the gene pool.

| Why is Dad Laughing? Eating Down from the Top is the Best |
Back home my daily personal decontamination process
has evolved into a routine. My Favorite Panamanian hears the garage door open heralding
my return and runs to pull all the window blinds before I emerge from the decon
site (the laundry room) having divested all of my work clothes. It’s become something
of a competition each day to see who gets done first. So far she way ahead on
points so the neighbors have not had their eyes seared watching me bound up the
stairs sans vestments.

| I love Cinnamon Rolls!! |
The granddaughters provided their daily morale boost
via Facetime yesterday. The BRS continued potty training and even divested her
diaper this time. She then demonstrated the proper way to bathe while still accompanied
by a legion of toys. My son reports for the first time she is letting him wash
her hair without a major fight. As evidenced by the accompanying pictures the
BRS has also taken up the family tradition of devouring cinnamon rolls. I remember
from my earliest days competing with my sisters to get the coveted middle roll
from the set my mother prepared on so many Sunday mornings. The BRS, as is her
wont, has employed a new technique of eating down from the top. This insures
liberal application of frosting to her face.

| FBR Reading to her Fire Lizard |
The FBR has fallen in love with the new toy, a fire lizard
that lights up, her grandparents had delivered to her yesterday which insured a
continued stream of gifts in the future. It’s a grandparent thing. The FBR even
read a bedtime story to the fire lizard. In keeping with today’s august significance
– the First Friday of the Week, we hope to honor it with another family group FaceTime
call, along with appropriate libations. We hope to include Soxfather and Great
Aunt to the group this week. First Friday Lives!!!
