Thank goodness for bands still doing Facebook live feeds a year into the socially distanced days of the modern plague. These entertainment events help break the combined monotony and stress of a solitary pandemic life peppered with various recent health events -- my own and those of family members.
The recent habit of watching Hallmark Movie Channel’s stupid romance movies has essentially turned my brain to mush, and it’s really gotten depressing watching all the 30- to 35-year old model types fall in love movie after movie. I may need to switch over to the murder channels for a while to reset and cleanse my palate and brain. At least in the mornings and late night Hallmark offers Golden Girls, which I failed to appreciate fully when it originally aired, but thoroughly enjoy now.

| Sobernaught live from the practice garage! |
Reading subtitles on Finnish,
Korean, and Isreali shows, plus daily news and online banking and marketing subscriptions
are the closest I’ve come to reading a book. After reading stuff literally all
day and night, there is no interest left for a book, so it’s been a dismal
failure of the resolution to read a book a month. That innocent idea crashed and burned after
the January completion of Charlotte’s Web. Last night I picked up a book
of Mark Twain and carried it from the bookcase over to the bed, noticed the spine
was really loose and the whole book felt fragile, so it was set down, and that is
as far as it went.
Tonight’s much needed, monotony busting,
online musical diversion was Sobernaught, my brother-in-law’s band's livestream “from
the practice garage.” It was great to see familiar faces and hear live music. The only reading was optional and
involved the set list on a white board in some of the camera angles, and was definitely
a nice change of pace. It will be an even nicer change of pace to see a band live in a club with other people.
