22 July 2020 - Plague Journal Day 132

Micah 6:8
Acts 28:12-14
Yes, your life matters.

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?

Today, 22nd July or 22/7, is Pi Approximation Day (sometimes called Casual Pi Day - that sounds like a good name for a bakery, doesn't it? Casual Pi?). Celebrate the day by celebrating the circles in your life.

Possibly more importantly, depending on your neighbourhood, today is National Rat Catcher's Day. I plan to celebrate by listening to some recordings by Marc-André Hamelin. (get it?)

Just a passing note - today marks the 11 dozenth day of the plague, counting from the day our company started to work from home. That's the longest two weeks I can remember, especially without any contractors involved.

Just another passing note. I was at a Pizza Hut in Fort Wayne, Indiana when we heard that Harry Chapin had died. The pizza and company were good, the news was not.

Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.

04 April 2020 - Plague Journal Day 23

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?

Here we are on a Saturday (yes, another service I can provide is letting you know what day it is as they all run together in the WFH world) and we're still at home. Surely I'm not the only person with a long To Do list that seems not to have shortened in the course of this quarantine, am I?
That list seems doggedly appropriate today, as this is National DIY Day. No, not the television network, just plain Do It Yourselfishness.

Also appropriate as we all work to avoid infections with COVID-19 - or any other viral or bacterial strains - is the fact that today is Vitamin C Day!

How, though, to combine the celebrations? Clearly one ought to raise a screwdriver to a DIY project. Please work at your projects responsibly.


How about a nice Bonus oddity? Here in the midst of our Plague Journal we find that it's World Rat Day. Pestilentially appropriate, don't you think?


Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
