Some more good news. Doctors are finding a vaccine used to treat malaria might work for the virus. See folks? Things might look bleak, but there is always hope. As long as you have hope, you’ll survive. If you lose hope, sucks to be you.

You remind me so much of my music teacher from 5th to 7th grade, Mr. Gill. I started out playing drums, and along the way he taught me basic piano. But he was also a mentor, a friend, and he let me borrow records from his own library. He had thousands of every type of music. He turned me on to...

Schools are doing all they can to teach kids at home. And since so many kids have iPhones and tablets the switch doesn’t seem that severe. I don’t know if they still dissect frogs in Biology like when I was that age, but just about every subject can be taught at home. What you can’t replicate at...

If it works out that way, great. If they’re still in your life 30 years from now, awesome. But you never know. You might get a lifelong friend from somewhere you least expect.

At least here’s something good. A local brewery stopped production of beer. They have all the ingredients to add to alcohol to make sanitizer. Another company donated 10,000 bottles and they’ll give it away when it’s ready. Like really. Rogers said, look for the helpers.

Happy Spring, everybody.

How are you coping with the virus?

You win. I can’t top that.

Way back when Nixon was president, do you know what his favorite sandwich was? Stand back. Cottage cheese and ketchup! Start hurling now.

Can’t say I have. Love grilled cheeses, especially with turkey or bacon, but never mayo. Might not be bad... Once upon a time I couldn’t stand mayo. But sometimes in the hospital all they’ll give you is a turkey sandwich. And it will be so dry you need the mayo to get it down.

Oh yes, we’ll have turkey soup over the weekend. Plus make a lot of sandwiches since I have a lot of bread and mayo to use up.

Well, it’s different for everybody. Some marry their high school sweethearts. Some friendships start at jobs. There’s no rhyme or reason to it. Your circle of friends can change over time. It just happens. People you’re close to now may not be there next year. College is a state of change...

Yes this all sucks, but others are affected too, not just you. Here’s a reality snapshot. You might be in real tight with some college friends right now. But after graduation people scatter. I went to a university with 20.000 kids. 30 years later, do you know how many I still keep in touch with...

My wife manages a pharmacy, so she’s considered “essential personnel”. There’s a curfew set for 8 pm in New Jersey, but she has a note to stay out past the curfew. Supermarkets and pharmacies are among the few places they’ll let customers in. Restaurants now will only offer takeout or delivery...

Whether it’s CNN or Fox, both sides will accuse the other of being fake. I can see Sarge’s point of viewof news as entertainment (although very poor entertainment). But news is supposed to inform people with facts so they can make rational decisions. What both sides have done is leverage news...

I know, that was rhetorical. I’m happy I can still walk down to the lake by my house, watch the ducks. They’re out there floating on the waves, the virus isn’t bothering them. In spite of all the chaos in the world, I’m at peace. I’m not sticking my head in the sand, but we’re going to see this...

Even with the virus he will “Carrie” on.

Making virus jokes may be a little edgy right now. But people do need to laugh, release the tension.

It sucked they cancelled the St. Patty’s parade yesterday, for the first time in history. The parade has been held in New York since 1761. Us Irish wemarching before we even had a country. We’ll make up for it and march with the Italians on Columbus Day. One guy I was talking to had his own...

There are people that have to cancel and postpone weddings, so everyone is going to be affected. But it is NOT the end of the world. Like I mentioned before, if anyone would be susceptible to the virus, it would be me. And I’m not panicking. So think about that. Why am I keeping my cool when...
