Orange Crush Cocktail

Finally I get around to writing about this drink, which I feel is entirely apropos this year of 2020 since #1 It has lots of Vitamin C and fresh orange juice (Oranges have been a BIG seller in the Pandemic) #2 It has alcohol (Alcohol has been a BIG seller

Be Italian

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey. Mammas and the Pappas I voted early. I’d requested a mail-in ballot but decided it was best to drive it to Pinecrest Gardens, in the pouring rain last Wednesday, and hand-deliver it to a person who put it in the

Stayin’ Alive, Stayin’ Alive!

“Just go ahead and go.” I love this line from Jerry Mcguire, that Dorothy’s young son says as they’re dropping Jerry off at the airport. “Just go ahead and go.” His Dad died, he’s dealt with abandonment, his Mom’s getting involved with Jerry, he’s getting attached to this new guy

This is So 2020

If 2020 was a VHS tape, I’d like to press the rewind button to January. What could we have done differently to prevent this whole fiasco? Plenty, methinks. I have heard so many people who THINK they already had the virus in January or February, even though they weren’t tested,

Wednesday’s Child

I’ve diagnosed myself with an unfortunate condition. It’s called Doomscrolling. While, I didn’t used to be a cell phone addict- often (unlike my American Express card) I would leave home without it- lately, I’m constantly on it, reading all sorts of Bad News. Of course, there’s the latest coronavirus stats-

Mama Mia (here we go again!)

It seems as if restaurants in Miami just opened, but now, due to the soaring rise of COVID cases, Mayor Gimenez has closed restaurants, along with gyms, fitness centers and short-term rentals. He’s doing it to ensure hospitals don’t get filled to capacity. Apparently the Covid culprits are 18 to

Stay Safe Out There!

Under Pressure David Bowie “I’m counting on you Bop!” Wyatt said to Zeke, who was attempting to put together a complicated Lego’s Avengers vehicle with a 167 little pieces. “I’m trying Buddy!” Zeke answered. When Wyatt handed me the box, I said “Gigi does not do Legos,” so he went
