29 March 2020: Daily Humor + Lovely + Whatever

Thank you sweet baby whomever is in the skies that the rain went on vacation for a good few hours today. I desperately needed to get out and work hard, and now all my muscles are trembling in the best way. Plus, I made 80 meatballs and homemade sauce, and dinner was sublime. Thank you, dear husband, for going to the store.

Humor:

Delightful beyond compare: Don’t Be Cruel. If you don’t love birds, why don’t you??

For all working from home these days, a bit of tele-humor:

If y’all aren’t following Richard Marx on Twitter, you’re missing out for a variety of reasons. Plus, who doesn’t need a haircut, now or in the immediate future? OMG.

Gallows funny, thank you, Mom.

Funny-not funny

Moving/Uplifting:

I love Roger Cohen, journalist and writer-extraordinaire always, but if you missed his most recent, please read: Silent Spring.

And for a bit of escapist glory, the Rotterdam Philharmonic plays Ode to Joy from afar but together. Stunning.

28 March 2020: Daily Humor + Lovely + Misc

This daily laugh track idea turns out to have been really brilliant because it’s the only reason I still know what day it is.

Our spring break ends tomorrow, and distance learning resumes Monday. Force be with us. In that regard, I offer you both regular quarantine humor and also some learning-at-home amusement.

Amen.

Thank you, Amy.

Lotta, did you send this one?

Lovely:

A girl who just finished chemo gets a welcome-home parade that follows safe, socially-distant rules.

Misc:
And in the not humorous (and not for kids) but thoroughly true vein, I give you this gem from Michael Rapaport. Couldn’t agree more.

Today was just what the doctor ordered. It was GORGEOUS! To the point where I ultimately got to wear shorts AND a short-sleeved t-shirt and garden for hours and hours. I gave away many hostas as well as some raspberry canes and butternut squash seedlings. I mulched and weeded and saw neighbors from appropriate distances and the kids played outside, and it was so nice.

Y’all are doing a GREAT job staying sane, keeping in touch, laughing, and sending me good material for the daily laugh track.

Humor:

Y’all, this dog is KILLING ME. I nearly lost my breath and bladder outside today whilst viewing it for the first time. Thank you, Susan.

Fred for the win! Thank you, Anne.

Thank you, Lotta.

In Resistance news, we need more of this:

And don’t forget to wash your hands!!
