Reading, Writing, and Learning in the Dark

Happy April. It’s Blog Post #75. Thanks for checking out this month’s thoughts and after thoughts. It was a pretty crazy March with all sorts of news to share so let’s get to it.

Personal News

Baby Announcement

I’m excited to announce that my wife and I are expecting. After years of trying, our baby is on the way. Mom is doing well. The due date is April of next year. We are elated.

Book Name

We don’t have any baby names picked out but my debut novel has a name. It will be called, “The Roy Who Cried Wolf.” It will be released in April of next year.

World News

Last week sure was crazy.

Another Virus

Seeing that Covid-20 was discovered to be jumping to humans and that work on a vaccine has been delayed was not the news we wanted to hear. Hopefully, they will come up with a vaccine sooner rather than later. As of yesterday, scientists were predicting it would be at least April of next year before Stage III trials on the Covid-20 vaccine would be complete.

Finance

Here in Canada, the announcement that our dollar would be discontinued really rattled the markets. It’s a bold move to switch the entire country to Cryptocurrency. I’ve been trying to read and understand it more since the announcement came. I don’t want to be left in the dark.

Book Deal

You can now buy my first book, Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside  for one dollar Canadian. It’s a limited time offer before it is only available using Bitcoin. Get your one dollar copy here.

Words of Wisdom

1. Read every day. It’s a great way to grow, to improve, and to learn. Take it all in and understand better the world around you.

2. Pay attention to what is happening around you. Know where you are. Know what day it is. Know the date. It will help you know the season for planting and the season for harvesting.

3. Don’t trust everything you read.

Thanks for reading this month’s Write or Wroy. I hope you enjoyed it and that I learned you stuff. Check out the announcement below regarding upcoming changes to the blog. It’s time for the ending jokes. Enjoy.

Donald Trump was asked what he thought about Saskatchewan.

He said, “Are we talking about the country or the language?”

__________________________________________________________________

I have decided to stop with the ending jokes so this will be the last one. I’m planning on this blog being a more serious place.  It will look at the political and social landscape with an eye on the ramifications of globalization, industrialization, and the role humans have in cultivating a progressive and multi-dimensional planet.

March’s Musings Reinvent the Wheel

Time Marches on… and so does the virus. He was acquitted last month. Welcome to Blog Post #74. This month, the needle dropped… into my arm vaccinating me against the Covid-19 virus. Now that the government have placed their tracking device in me, my dreams of space travel are over. Fortunately for you, my dream of writing Blog Post #74 is still alive and well.

Thank you to the people who bought my book, Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside in January and February of this year. I did not expect to still be selling copies into 2021. Appreciate the support:)

Vaccine Dream

Yes, I am happy and proud to get my vaccine. Vaccines are the most amazing discovery in the history of human kind. Even fire or the wheel can’t compare. Human Kind’s Greatest Discoveries looks something like this:

1. Antibiotics

2. Vaccines

3. The Wheel

4. Fire

5. Write or Wroy: The Blog

6. The Light Bulb

7. Combustion Engine

8. Glasses/ Telescope/ Microscope

9. Steam Engine

10. Internet/ Computers.

All amazing inventions and the order may vary depending on whose list you’re using.

The vaccine did cause my arm to be quite sore. It’s a small price to pay to be vaccinated from a once in a century virus that has killed nearly three million people over a one year period of time. For those who are skeptical, don’t feel they need it, or don’t trust its safety, the God will forgive you. Maybe the forgiveness meeting will be sooner than planned.

Novel Progress

My novel stagnated for a bit but it’s now, once again, propelling forward towards completion… of the first draft. The new strategy which has gotten my train back on the track is working on it first thing when waking up… after coffee. Here’s an excerpt from some of the dialogue I’ve been working on:

By the time Cindy began speaking about the loss of her rabbit, he had had enough, “Sorry to interrupt but can I ask what the purpose of these meetings are each week? I mean, we are all just going over the same stuff, again, and again, with no end, no end goal. There’s never progress or ever any ‘moving on’. Life is short. It needs to be lived. Living life to the fullest honors those we cared about who are no longer here. Why are we sitting here in this room, going over the same past each and every week? This isn’t a grief group. It’s a wallowing group. I can’t sit here and wallow any more!”

I’ve just started on Chapter 21 with the intention to get anywhere from 26 to 30 chapters completed to finish the story. The chapter count could go up or down on the second draft depending on what gets added and/ or cut. It’s a process that I’m enjoying the more I put time into it.

Words of Wisdom

1. Life is short. It needs to be lived.

2. Believe in science. Get your vaccine. Think of your fellow humans across this flat land we call Earth.

3. Don’t wallow. It doesn’t really help anything.

Thanks for reading March’s musings. It’s a little shorter than usual. You know where to send your complaints. Fortunately, I’m back putting more of my efforts into the novel, determined to get it to my dedicated readers this year. As usual, I have the ending jokes. That’s really why you came here anyway. Enjoy.

As mentioned in a previous post, part of my current job as a nurse is to phone people who have been in the hospital due to Covid-19. I ask about their ongoing symptoms and how they’re generally doing since having Covid-19. The various symptoms and effects are part of the ongoing studies and interest in this ever evolving virus. One of the symptoms we ask about is changes to people’s hearing. It usually goes like this:

Q: Have you noticed any changes to your hearing?

A: What?

When we all get together and have house guests again after the pandemic is over:

Would you like some edamame?

Yes. Definitely. Give me “Two Tickets to Paradise” and “Take Me Home Tonight”!!

A recent conversation between me and my wife:

Why is your Kindle E-reader so much heavier than mine?

Because it has more books on it than yours.

Does a Bear Use a Stool?

February already! At least time is flying… even if none of us are. It’s Blog Post #73 to brighten your month. Thanks to those who provided feedback on last month’s post. It was a little edgier than usual so I thought I would go a little tamer this month… or not. It’s at this point that I will place a disclaimer: Opinions are my own and a sense of humor is required. I represent myself and this is satirical, sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek nonsense.

The Latest News

Finance

Two coyotes that had been attacking runners were captured in Stanley Park last month. In unrelated news, shares of ACME have plummeted.

If you look at this photo closely, you can see it’s a bear market.

Social media

“Bullying isn’t ok at any time. Can I get 3 people to share?”

Stop trying to bully me into sharing your post!

“Age yourself by naming a store.” Hudson’s Bay Fur Trading Company.

Science

A cat was lost inside the Toronto Airport last month. Scientists announced that the mouse population at the Toronto Airport has seen a sharp decline this month.

Covid – 19

Stay Calm. The Covid Vaccine Update is here. The government has recently put out this statement regarding the Covid-19 vaccine:

The time for vaccination is now. We will be having meetings all this week to organize the shipping and receiving of the vaccine to where it is needed most. We will be working on contingency plans for any difficulties in manufacturing or in the supply chain. Next week, we will be discussing clinic location and how to effectively and efficiently roll out the vaccine. This will be followed by determining the hierarchy for vaccinations likely targeting our most vulnerable first and then categorizing priorities by age. Once those important steps are complete, we will re-evaluate our work and give the public a chance to have their voices heard with an online survey, which will be open for three weeks. We will then look at staffing levels, competencies, and required training for the vaccine rollout. Once staff have had the four weeks of training and been certified in vaccine storage, administration, and adverse reaction response, we will be having meetings to establish the paperwork and certification that vaccinated citizens will receive. We will then be able to establish a start date for mass vaccination of whoever is left.

Words of Wisdom

1. Don’t take life too seriously. Definitely don’t take that vaccine update seriously. It’s not real… just like the virus.

2. Don’t take Words of Wisdom seriously, especially that last one.

3. Remember the disclaimer.

Life goes on. Unfortunately, so does the virus. It’s still masks, distancing, and locking down. Take care of your mental health, your physical health and take care of each other. Share a funny blog post you read. Thanks for reading my February musings. Yes, my novel is still in the works and I will be sharing more of it here in the future. For now, it’s the ending jokes. Enjoy.

How bad was last year?

Rob Thomas just changed the name of his band to Matchbox Twenty-One.

I had someone ask me, what is melena stool?

It’s dark tarry stool.

Ok. I thought it said Melania, like Melania Trump.

No, very different. One is human waste. The other is a sign of an upper GI bleed.

Start the Year Off Write

Blog Post #72 is now here to ring in a novel year.  Goodbye to 2020. It’s been a slice… a slice of meat pie made from bat, possum, and bullhead, served with a warm, stale non-alcoholic beer.  Year 2020 was one for the ages. It’s now time for a new year with new goals. It’s a year for more jokes, blog posts, and a novel to go with it. Happy New Year indeed. I took this photo at a nearby park in December 2020. There was actual sunshine in 2020?

The Spanish Resolution

It’s now been three years since I made a resolution to learn to speak Spanish fluently. People sometimes ask me how it’s going.

I answer, “Pas mal… assez bien.”

My plan is to have two versions of my blog, one in English and one in Spanish. Follow my blog and read along as I butcher the Spanish language.

Writing Awards

I’m excited to announce that I have won the 2020 RGM Publishing Award for Travel Writing for my article Watching Netflix in My Living Room. Click here to read the article in its entirety.

The End is Near

The Pandemic of 2020 has made for many challenges. It has shown our resilience, our strengths, our weaknesses, our ignorance, and our adaptability. It’s shown us who we really are. My wife hasn’t worked since March. I have been asked to work more and differently. There have been changes to protocols, procedures, and policies almost daily. It has been a stressful exercise in tackling the unknown. It’s forced us to be strong.

The vaccine is now here and there does appear light at the end of the tunnel. It’s hard to know how the public will respond and if there will be enough vaccinations completed to reach herd immunity. There is a lot of distrust of politicians and health experts.

Greg, a 41 year old, who lives in his mom’s basement, seems to be the authority on vaccines, social distancing, and masks. He will lead us through this pandemic. He says there’s no need for any of this vaccine and mask stuff.  Greg has suggested that we should just get more ICU beds. Apparently, Greg doesn’t understand that it’s not the bed that’s the problem. It’s the skilled, educated, and trained professionals that go with it. Otherwise, everyone could have an ICU bed in their home. That should be the plan for the next pandemic, Greg.

*Greg is a fictitious name of a stereotype that may or may not exist.

Atheistic Bias

Some churches have also expressed mistrust of the governments mandatory health orders and have continued to have in-person services. I, for one, am shocked that when it comes to doing the right thing for the greater good of all people and their health, that a church would not step up and lead the way.

I saw a sign at one church that said, “Something you cannot see has shut down the world… and its going to take someone we can’t see to fix it. Can we get an Amen?”

No. There’s these things called microscopes used to see the thing. With our eyes, we can see the people (scientists and researchers) making the vaccine, which can also be seen, going into the arm… if you choose to look. We see healthcare workers caring for the sick and administering the vaccine. That deserves an Amen and a Hallelujah.

As a Nurse, I have followed up with patients who have had Covid. I asked one patient if he had noticed any changes to his taste or smell.

He said, “No. I smell the same but you’d have to ask Dr. Lector if I taste any different.”

*The original version of the previous statement was deemed inappropriate and offensive. It was changed to better reflect the morals, values, and sensitivities of modern people in the year 2021.

Words of Wisdom

1. If any of your friends or family were at last week’s super-spreader Trump rally in Los Angeles calling for an end to masks and lockdowns, be sure to isolate from them for at least the next ten to fourteen years.

I’m joking, of course. They’re your friends and family. What I meant to say was:

Never see or speak to them again.

2. Make this year the year we stop arguing about religion. Let’s stop fighting about faith, the human spirit, and where our souls go after death. Let’s strive to get along, be kind, and find common ground with one another through love and understanding… and accept that there is no god.

3. Have a sense of humor. This blog is really meant in pure fun for a good laugh… and every word is true.

Happy New Year!

I hope you enjoyed this edgy start to 2021. Thanks for reading and supporting this fun bit of nonsense. As usual, the ending jokes are here. Enjoy.

Michael Jordan has started doing yoga. He was asked if he has ever tried goat-yoga.

He replied, “C’mon! Every time I do yoga, it’s G.O.A.T yoga.”

Take That Bike for a Cruise and Get Out of Year.

The year is almost done. It’s Blog Post #71. Thank you to those who shared that they enjoyed #70. Appreciate the support for this little piece of the web I call mine. Apparently, there’s some sort of virus around. Stay home and read this blog.

Latest News

*Last month saw the United States announce that the virus, that has caused so much havoc there, will lose its potency and power this January.

*There were rumors that Vladamir Putin would be resigning as the president citing burnout and fatigue. He found that presiding over both Russia and the United States to be too much. This rumor turned out to be fake news with Putin stating that manipulating a puppet was not tiring but actually mildly enjoyable.

*Melania Trump is one of the names being considered for the U.S. presidency in 2024. The Slogan: A president that doesn’t need any hand-holding.

*Headline: “Metro Vancouver man who had just come back from flat-Earth festival arrested for violating Quarantine Act” – This was startling news as this was the second time for him being arrested for such offenses. The first time was when he had travelled to the North Pole with the Easter Bunny to meet with Santa Claus to discuss nano-robots in vaccines that have never proven to work. Most recently, the man was arrested a third time when he returned from the U.S. where he attended a Trump victory rally.

Nomenclature (These names are real)

Congratulations to Souvankham Thammavongsa for winning the prestigious 2020 Giller Prize for her book, “How to Pronounce Knife.” Forget “Knife”, how do you pronounce her kname?

Also, congratulations to Dakshana Bascaramurty on her first book, “This is Not the End of Me.”

The Beguiling” by Zsuzsi Gartner is another book garnering a lot of attention in the world of novels.

I look forward to releasing my first novel next year and joining these great names. In other literary news, I will be changing my pen-name to Zwroyy Gunnarr Mundheimanian.

Fall Colors

I took this photo of False Creek in downtown Vancouver last month.

Movie Fun

The year of movie watching continues. I’ve seen some really good ones, some ok ones, and some real crap. Last month, I was incredibly entertained by a diamond in the rough, The Vast of Night. It’s sci-fi that even a non sci-fi fan can get behind. Thoroughly entertaining with great tension, story, and dialogue, “I wouldn’t know a frog’s ribbet about that.”

My wife and I finally watched Get Out last month. Towards its conclusion, the main character was in the house and my wife said, “He should really get out of there!” She insists that she did not do that on purpose.

Words of Wisdom

1. There’s been some positive news on the vaccine front but keep washing those hands and wearing those masks. There’s also been progress in the world of Covid treatments. Bamlanivimab is the name of the latest drug to treat people with Covid-19. I would have called it VirusGetOut pill. My wife would still ask what it does.

2. The Earth is round. #controversial.

3. Trump won the election fair and square. #controversial.

4. Happy Holidays however you celebrate and whatever you celebrate. As for me, if you regularly follow this blog, you’re aware I celebrate George Michael Memorial Day. Know that 2021 is going to be better. You just gotta have faith, a faith, a faithah!

 What a year it has been! Thank you to everyone who bought and read my book, Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside. Also, thank you to everyone who continues to read and support this blog. Continue to follow along in 2021 as I write and work to publish my first novel. As usual, the ending jokes are here. Enjoy.

Following a long absence from working as a bedside Nurse, I returned to the hospital to pick up a couple shifts. Bedside nursing in the hospital is a lot like riding a bike… except now your patients have Covid… and your co-workers have Covid… and you have Covid… and your bike has Covid.

Overheard conversation: “It’s a pandemic with a dangerous contagious disease and people are still booking cruises.

That’s because they’re stupid cheap right now and there’s lots of great deals. You can get a cruise for $11.00 U.S. and when it’s over, if you survive, you get to keep the ship.”

Anniversaries and Feces

It’s the 70th wave of the virus known as Write or Wroy. It could also be called Blog Post #70.

We’re living through history here in November 2020. Soon, America will decide who will be their president. Unlike the past, the president will be chosen by armed militants. Then, like the past, a civil war will erupt. Crazy times just like the bible predicted. How did they know that wars and unrest would come to the humans of earth? Bold prediction there, Mr. Revelations.

Happy Anniversary

It’s the one year anniversary of the release of my first book, the critically acclaimed (by me) Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside. Purchase your copy here before the end of times. It’s also the one month anniversary of another great literary work, Blog Post #69.

Write! Then Wroy

A week ago, I entered the Canadian Broadcast Corporation’s short fiction competition with my story, There’s a Plan to Carve. With only about 8000 entries, I’m almost guaranteed the first prize. If I’m foiled by that Margaret Atwood person again, I’ll be angrier than Jamie Lannister taking on Luke Skywalker in a thumb wrestling competition.

Work on my novel continues. Chapter 4 is near completion with an estimated 26 more chapters to go. Here’s a short excerpt from the first rough draft.

The smell of feces and disinfectant wafted through the air. As he arrived at the start of the hallway near the nursing station, he locked eyes with Ryan, who smiled briefly and nodded. He continued on through the double doors, hoping to never see, or smell, this place again.  

Best of 2020

Food magazines have started releasing their best restaurants of 2020 lists. I guess they know this year is over as well. Congratulations to the winners.

The Best Restaurants of 2020.

1. Uber Eats

2. Door Dash.

3. Foodora.

4. Covid.

Note: Fifth to tenth place have all since permanently closed and were removed from this list.

Words of Wisdom

1. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Be grateful. Be thankful. Remember that you are fortunate to be able to read this blog.

2. It’s good to look back at all your travels. It’s like in 2018 when we travelled to Great Britain, or 2019 when we flew to Mexico and later Japan, or 2020, when we went to Hell. Good times.

3. Wash those hands. Wear your mask where required.

Thanks to everyone who continues to visit this page and read this ‘out there’ blog. It’s now the usual cheesy ending jokes. Enjoy.

Following Donald Trump’s run-in with Covid-19, one headline in a paper said, “What will happen if Trump is ‘unable to govern’?”

What? Have the last four years not answered that question already?

_______________________________________________________________________

A large bug kept going for my beer and I was needing to continually shew it away. It finally flew away. My wife said, “Oh good. That Arnold Schwarze-bug is finally gone.”

I replied. ”Unfortunately, not for good. It said… ‘fly’ll be back’.”

I’ll Take Nine Sick Sarcasms for the Wynn, Alex.

Welcome to the sixty-ninth edition of Write or Wroy: The Blog. Thanks for all the feedback and encouragement following my last blog. I’m glad people enjoyed it.

If you’re looking for 69 jokes, you’ve come to the wrong place. If you’re looking for cheesy goodness, you are in the right zone.

Nine: Do you want to learn German?

Six: Nein

Nine: What?

What did The Six say to The Nine?

___________________________________________________

Nine: I’m going to bed.

Six: Ok. Good Nine.

Site Updating

As you may have seen, I have updated various sections of the website. It’s better and more reflective of me as a writer. I added some information on the blog and what it’s actually about as it seems to confuse people sometimes. I also added this disclaimer:

“*Do not take this clever blog to heart as it is mostly satirical tongue-in-cheek sarcastic nonsense… that will make your life infinitely better.”

Book Progress

It’s slowly moving forward. This photo might indicate that I’m on Chapter 19. I am not. I have little bits written in nineteen chapters but only really have two chapters fully completed.

Writing a novel is a huge mountain to climb that requires one little step after another little step after another little step etc. etc. etc. Here’s a short excerpt from the latest chapter I’m working on:

“Like always, eh? She was a protector. She never wanted to see people in pain. She couldn’t even watch movies with any sort of suffering. She got upset when Donkey had to sleep outside at Shrek’s place. I wasn’t allowed to pick any of the movies we watched after that.”

Travel Is Back

I recently read an article about all the countries you can visit right now. That inspired me to write the following article on all the countries you should visit right now.

All the Countries You Should Visit Right Now

The End

Words of Wisdom

1. Just because you can, does not mean you should.

2. Appreciate every day that you get to wake up… and read my writing.

Thanks again for reading my musings. It’s time for the ending jokes beyond the great 69 jokes from paragraphs past. Enjoy.

Wynn Resorts in Las Vegas recently had over 500 employees test positive for Covid 19. That’s over 500 people closer to herd immunity. That’s more than 500 people who now can’t get Covid 19. It’s a Wynn Wynn.

What happens in Vegas…

My wife was heading out grocery shopping and asked, “Is there anything you need at the store.”

I thought for a while, “No, I can’t think of anything.”

“Ok, then. I’ll see you later.”

“Text me when you’re in the lineup at the store.”

”Why?”

“Because that’s when I’ll remember some things I need you to pick up.”

Write or Wroy

Happy September! Write or Wroy, It’s Blog Post # 68. The virus is a distant memory and we’re back to normal life. We’re staying in, social distancing, and being kind to our fellow humans.

Thanks to those who emailed or commented on social media about last month’s over the top joke. The consensus was that it was not too much but was, in fact, ‘just right’.

Writer Roy

After receiving a nice email from someone who said they really enjoy my writing, I have decided to put more time and effort into it. I have recently created an Author Page on Amazon which you can check out here: www.amazon.com/author/roygmundheim

In addition to that, I also added an author page to Good Reads, a social cataloguing website focused on books and reviews. You can check out my page here: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/118978691-roy-mundheim

I continue to work on my first novel and I’m over halfway done my first draft. The story is taking shape and the outline is becoming clear. Here’s an excerpt:

“Alright, let’s get to the bar… not for shots though. Let’s get some chin ups and pull ups under our belt.”

In addition to novel work, I’ve entered a couple of writing contests and have three other short stories on the go. I’m already planning another book (with short stories) that is to be released in 2021.

You’ll notice my website getting updated and upgraded over the next couple months as well. After much thought, I have named my blog, “Write or Wroy” A.K.A “WOW”. It only took four years. I was looking at calling it, “Roy’s Always Write” (RAW) but you already knew that.

Words of Wisdom (Also WOW…see what I did there?)

1. If you’re thinking about sending mail to the U.S., don’t. There’s some sort of problem. Government is working on it.

2. Sometimes you have to embrace chaos. Then work through it and on it.

3. Choose to enjoy every day on this amazing planet. It’s been a pretty good summer despite a global pandemic. I took this photo while on vacation at beautiful Shuswap Lake here in British Columbia.

Thanks for reading and supporting my passion project. It’s time for the ending jokes. Enjoy.

While talking about beautiful lakes to visit in western Canada, a friend asked, “What’s that lake up north called that is known for having duck itch?”

Me: “Duck Itch Lake?”

I had my running hat, my workout hat, and a casual hat all on the table. My wife was frustrated and said, “Oh my god! How many hats need to be on the table?”

My response: “Three. The answer is three. Three hats need to be on the table.”

*The couch was comfortable that night.

Riotous Risqué Celebrations of the Moon, the Stars, and the Sun

It’s Blog Post # 67. August is here and with it has been sunny days, road trips, and Covids. I’ve been reading and writing, writing and reading over this summer and finding inspiration everywhere… and beer, I’ve been enjoying beer.

One road trip saw us go to the city of Kamloops to visit family. I took this photo (which didn’t do it justice) of the Moon and Mars. In between is a cloud that looks like a wolf’s head. This is Fenrir , son of Loki, who will devour the Sun. Just to the left is another light. It could be a star but is more likely, Tatooine… or the visible light left over from Alderaan. Science is fun. Religion is funny.

I recently entered some writing contests. If I don’t win, then the fix is clearly in. I’ll hopefully share my entries here some time in the future. Until then, we all wait with baited breath (Pre-thank you to the Internet: I know it’s bated breath;)) As promised, here’s some dialogue from my upcoming novel. I’m actually not sure this will make the final cut for the book but thought I’d share it here anyway.

“You sound like you could use a book recommendation.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean that reading might be good for you.”

“What are you trying to say?”

“You don’t seem well read.”

“Meaning what?”

“You don’t sound educated.”

“I don’t understand what you’re getting at.”

“You seem ignorant.”

“How so?”

“Never mind.”

Words of Wisdom

1. Celebrate life. This month, we celebrated my wife’s birthday. It was a lot of fun to be celebrating instead of lamenting the virus. One of the great things about Latin American culture is the sheer volume of festivals and celebrations. There’s always a reason to celebrate. Mexico even have a day to celebrate all people who have died, ever. That’s a prime example of looking for a reason to celebrate. There always is one… if you look for it.

2. Celebrate responsibly during Covid times.

Thanks again for reading my monthly musings and supporting this writing gig. I’ll be announcing some big expansions to my writing enterprise in the near future so stay tuned.

Here are the ending jokes you all come here for. With sports back in action, albeit with no fans in attendance, I thought I’d share a couple of original sports jokes I wrote. Enjoy.

* Warning: This requires some knowledge of Vancouver and the Vancouver Canucks hockey team. It’s also a bit of a risqué joke. It is only a joke.

As a fan of the Vancouver Canucks, I am very excited that the team has made the playoffs. Health Officials are asking people to stay home to watch games, keep groups small, and practice social distancing. I recently overheard this conversation:

They’re telling us to watch the Canucks in small groups with social distancing? How are we supposed to riot then?”

“With masks so no one can be identified.”

#toosoon? #2011

Q. Who do you think is going to win baseball’s World Series this year?

A. Covid
