I keep thinking how fortunate I am - aside from some IRA losses, which I can withstand.  I can pay my bills.  My two kids are employed stably (thus far).  One had to take a 5% pay cut.  I miss going out to eat, OK, but the folks out of work are in tough shape, most of them depended on tips for livelihood.  Schools are out, education has slowed, research has slowed in most areas I presume.  I'm in a kind of fortress in a way.  The grocery stores are mostly well stocked now.  I'm not sick (yet).  The wife is managing OK, I try and keep her positive (which she generally is).

The internet is up and running, we're supposed to get an upgrade this week.
I'm also very lucky.
Will go to the office tomorrow and upgrade some internet packages - paycheck is almost certain to be cashed Friday
was out with 7 friends last night - good take out food and drink
will be golfing this afternoon with friends
I usually only go out to eat once a week or so - that hasn't bothered me much
I did send my daughter a check for $300 to help with rent since she's unemployed - not a big deal for me

I'm alive. Just no sports for me to yap about.

Just crossed the country on I-70, which was pretty strange. It's a ghost town out there. Nothing but semis and uhauls and work vans. Hotels with only about a half a dozen people, including the staff. Like a zombie apocalypse, minus all the zombies (knock on wood).
good to hear
stay safe

Many of us are very blessed and fortunate, and it is worthwhile to pause and reflect on that.

I do kinda wish the Dawgs would win another NC in my lifetime, but I'd be fine with a couple SEC CG wins.

We got our biannual wine shipment from our wine club in Paso this week. Strangely, two boxes arrived from two different shipping services for us. Upon opening, we realized we'd been double-shipped but only charged once.

We called to let them know about the error and see what to do about it, and they said they could either have us ship it back at their expense, or keep it and they'd charge us but with ~25% discount.

So we got a lot of wine 😂

Try and do what you can to support local take out places.  Our local favorite was doing cheesecake today, I ordered three slices, he gave me five.  He told me tomorrow they would be doing limited menu take out dinners.  I'm in.

He's a super nice guy, very efficient as a manager.  Cafe Intermezzo.  We who have funds should reach out and help.

I was thinking we could even do our own video meeting sometime. I've met some of you in person but not a lot of you and nobody recently.

I've done it with my family and some groups I'm involved in, and it's definitely helping me keep my sanity....

It was BGE Olympics today, trying to maintain temp while the gusts were hitting 40mph.  I was wise to keep it simple w a couple tenderloins.  The overnight  homemade rub was the star.  Of course I wouldn't know the recipe, just make about a cup worth of it with whatever made sense last night  and try another one some other time down the road.

My standard dry rub for pork (spare ribs, tenderloin, pork butt):

1/2 Bolner's Fiesta Pork Rub https://www.fiestaspices.com/product/pork-rub/
1/2 Montreal Steak Seasoning https://www.mccormick.com/grill-mates/flavors/seasoning-blends/grill-mates-montreal-steak-seasoning

Also, smear the meat with plain ol' yeller mustard before applying the dry rub
