Another relatively slow day around here \u2014 this week is mostly rainy, or threatening rain almost every day. The first tropical storm (Arthur) is hanging around off the coast and supplying us with a lot of clouds. So big outdoor projects are on hold for a few days. (Just to put things in perspective, mowing my lawn is a \u201cbig outdoor project\u201d for me.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyhow, a lot of us (especially older folks) are still hang around home most of the time, even though I guess technically the \u201cquarantine\u201d has been lifted\u2026
I got to thinking about all the clever remarks I\u2019d heard from people in isolation\u2026 some I heard so many times, I\u2019m sick of them, like \u201cI never thought my hands would consume more alcohol than my mouth\u201d or \u201cbetter 6 feet apart than 6 feet under.\u201d But some I haven\u2019t heard so often and I kind of like them \u2014 especially the ones about home-schooling. We don\u2019t have to do that anymore, but I can still identify with what a lot of parents are going through. Here\u2019s a couple I particularly liked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Home schooling is going well. 2 students suspended for fighting and 1 teacher fired for drinking on the job.
Day 5 of Homeschooling: One of these little monsters called in a bomb threat.
Day 6 of Homeschooling: My child just said, \u201cI hope I don\u2019t have the same teacher next year\u201d \u2026 I\u2019m offended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And even though these aren\u2019t about home-schooling, I Like these too\u2026\u00a0
I don\u2019t think anyone expected that when we changed the clocks we\u2019d go from Standard Time to the Twilight Zone.
Went to this restaurant called \u201cThe Kitchen.\u201d You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have no clue how this place is still in business.\u00a0
Well, enough for a rainy day\u2026 think I\u2019ll go check out the booze supply.
