It's the missing data that kill

DENT: This definitely a crazy and frightening disease.  I haven't seen much first hand, but following it closely since the info is coming out so fast on line. 
I really do expect that another surge is unavoidable. I just hope they figure out the actual causes for the mortality sooner than later. 

b1: Yes. 
How's your immediate world?

D: We are hanging out and so far tolerating the lockdown pretty well. There are six of us home. My daughter, Finial, is a new architect in San Francisco. She has been here <CO> since mid March working online. Hunkster is a senior at Notre Dame and is also taking classes on line. Graduation has been cancelled. I have been working 1/3 time. We will be increasing that this week and starting elective surgeries next week. We are playing this by ear. No pun intended. 

b1: Not the first time you've used that line. 

D: 'Playing it by nose' doesn't have the same ring. 

b1: Har.

Alf: The game of Skleen Ball is very simple. You sling your can of anchovies into the opponent's laundry basket. 

Son: Can you eat the anchovies afterward?

Alf: NO! Does Marvin Hagler eat his trunks after a match?


Daughter: Mom,  why is there nothing to drink in this house except Perrier?

Mom: Alf gets it at cost from the French Embassy. 


Alf to cat in fake British accent: One minute to go, Luck-Meister, then I'll be down on you like a buzzard on a meat wagon. 

Intern Sleep

Special K: My thoughts on Doctor Sleep: nobody should ever make a sequel of a Kubrick film.
1/2 His movies were something else, the sequels are always gonna suffer by comparison. Doc Sleep was meandering and not compelling to me. A decent standalone
2/2  horror movie, no good in The Shining universe.

b1-66er: I agree. 
Does it get ANY points for being written by Mr. King?

K: I think so, it makes it an entertaining horror movie.

b1: Oh. Kay.

NOW how do you feel about Peeps Soup?

Special K: I liked this one. https://twitter.com/nbcsnl/status/1254474184811524097?s=20

b1-66er: I'm laughing to absolute tears. 

Half a twin birthday

Former Flyer: Look at this cake that Maya's partner (12 years old) made for their birthday. Homemade macaroons too!!

b1-66er: Super super great. 
THAT'S a happy birthday.
