You have the (emotionally) hardest job of anyone I know. I'm sincerely hoping you've found a way to cope....

Until this week, I was seeing nine or ten COVID-19 cases a day.

It’s finally slowing down...

I know the toll it's taken on you. Helping the homeless and mentally disturbed (often the same thing). Please know how proud I am of you for doing this day after day. And how ashamed I am that I can't come close to the man you is baby. You has me ultimate respect. Sincery. After this pandemic is over, how's about I come to WA a d we go get drunk?

The guy at El Gaucho makes a vodka gimlet to die for.

I know a gimlet is a little tame, but it's a nice place to start.

And we won't get scurvy...

There is something about a Martini,
A tingle remarkably pleasant;
A yellow, a mellow Martini;
I wish I had one at present.
There is something about a Martini,
Ere the dining and dancing begin,
And to tell you the truth,
It is not the vermouth--
I think that perhaps it's the gin.

I like a nice, dry Martini
Only one, or two at the most
Three, and I’m under the table
Four, and I’m under the host

We raised our daughter on that show. Such balm during Bush. Brought back memories. Thank you!

Now that i think of it...we watched it on disk, maybe? We didn't have tv when she was little. Hmm..!

I have it on DVD, but lately, I've been watching it on Netflix. No need to hassle changing the disc; you just go from episode to episode...
