House Party.

Apparently there’s an app called House Party that’s the new bees’ knees of the isolation set. I know nothing about the app or what it’s for but I do love Jeno’s Pizza Rolls, especially the Chili Cheeseburger flavor.

Learning.

I’m learning a lot about my circle of friends and family during this pandemic. Admittedly I’m finding more positive energy from those I choose to follow on Twitter versus what I’m seeing on Facebook. Once I stray away from my specific, curated Twitter timeline things go completely off the rails, but right now, at this time, I’m following the right people.

Facebook, on the other hand, is all over the place. I have relatives beating their chests, other relatives posting nonsensical memes, lots of pilot friends that are worried about their careers, and cat photos. Lots of cat photos.

Here’s a cat photo!

Rosie O’Donnell and Erich Bergen revived “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” this evening to raise money for the Broadway Actors’ Fund. If you want to contribute, click here.

Watching Rosie do her thing again gave me the mood boost I absolutely needed today. Things are good for us here at home. So I’ll continue to concentrate on the good things.

And I’ll maintain a heavy filter on Facebook consumption.

Food.

Lunch was a Beyond Meat cheeseburger today and I am beyond happy with the taste experience.

New.

So this is a very new thing. Truman is not a cuddler by any means, but he’s up here purring away.

Da Schitt.

The four of us have been getting together on a regular basis to watch this last season of “Schitt’s Creek”. I discovered the series back when I had my last surgery to fix my plumbing a few years ago. Earl and I have been faithful followers since then and have always been excited to see new episodes on Pop!TV. Jamie and Chris recently binged the entire series to get to the latest episodes.

“Schitt’s Creek” is in its final season and the countdown of the last episodes has begun. I remarked to Earl last night that I’m actually going to be quite bummed when the series comes to an end in a few weeks. There is a certain simplicity in the complexities of the characters and the show. I mentioned that seeing these characters completely embrace who they are without hesitation, especially Dan Levy’s David, made me feel more comfortable about who I am.

It’s better when we just be.

The last three episodes of the series (thus far) felt rather touching in their quirky own way. There was even a flashback to an earlier episode.

I’m going to miss this show when it ends its run. It’s probably been my favorite show of the past year or two. I’ll be positively disconsolate when there’s no more adventure to be enjoyed.

Sister Act.

It’s amazing, the things that come to mind at times. Whenever it’s time to recite The Lord’s Prayer during a church service, I sing it to myself. I never knew there was a video to accompany this Top 40 hit from the early 1970s.

Here’s Sister Janet Mead with “The Lord’s Prayer”.
