The spitting comet of doom!

b1-67er: That can't be a good sign.

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.

AlfSpeak

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.
