30 April 2020 - Plague Journal Day 49

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?


Apparently lots of folks are concerned about the state of their coiffures. One supposes the closure of hair salons is the main (mane? ha!) source of this angst - that and the fact that today is Hairstyle Appreciation Day.
In what is, no doubt, a pure coincidence, today is also International Jazz Day.
Perhaps, then, today is the day to raname these COVID-Dos or Quarantine Coiffs. How about calleng them "free improvisations" rather than bad hair days. Now don't you feel better?

I can't find the original source, but I remember watching Ellis Marsalis talk about the art of improvisation on some TV show or other. His basic point was: If you make a mistake, just keep going until you get to where you meant to be. That's improvising.

Here's a Fabulous Bonus for Today -
It's Poem in Your Pocket Day.
I've composed a lovely haiku to enhance and encourage your celebration:
Write a poem for
Poem in your pocket day
You can sit on it
