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.

Just before the virus...

D4rw1n: still life with plums. COVID version 

A-day!

Special K: <@00:01> A hopeful Aspiration Day to you.

b1-66er: Here's to wishing!
You're the A-day greeting champion!

K: Proud to be.

b1: How do you plan to commemorate the day?

K: Review last year's aspirations and consider this year's. Work on fixing bugs for work. Work on a jigsaw puzzle. Enjoy leftovers for lunch, and the "Best Ever Beef Stew" recipe for dinner. Stay up late watching The Shining + old TV on channel 68.

b1: Make enough stew tonight for leftovers tomorrow. I'm interested to hear how it is. 
Do you think the pandemic makes A-day better, worse or has no effect?

K: Better, because it makes us more thoughtful, and that's important today.

b1: I actually agree with that 100%.
"Mindfulness" is an A-Day transport mechanism. 

K: Yes.

Alftastic

b1-66er: Alf: Sorry, but I began to panic when I missed 'Gumby.'

Alf: I assume you have no plans to fix the TV. 
Dad: no immediate plans. 
A: fine! I'll leave it tuned to Oral Roberts and see if it will heal itself!

Mom: Alf, I already said you can use the portable TV in the bedroom. 
Alf: it's too small! It makes everyone lon like Danny Devito.

Hair of the cat

This is how everyone looks right about now :)

b1: To be honest, in this situation, I think of you as being more cat than dog like.
