March 5, 2020 was a different world. Look at where we are a month later. I am in the epicenter of the epicenter. I go to work every day as the point-person for the rest of my staff who are working at home. The work I do is deemed essential. Lots of people coming down with it. I pray that it is the mild version.



Grocery Stores becoming careful. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods were ahead of the curve in this regard. I have to applaud Stop and Shop for their senior hours.



Comfort brought Comfort.



Nature keeps on going on, cherry blossoms are back for their short visit.



Always time for BBQ. I am trying an interesting range of take-out spots. This one had Avocado fries.



Fewer places to get the lottery tickets but I found some. Last night: $20 win and two free tickets.

The Village Voice has a good article this week on NYC BBQ. Includes a mention of Robert Pearson , who was slinging Texas style Brisket in LIC in the nineties. The Legends Bar in Jackson Heights still follows his technique.



St. Patrick's Day weekend starts today with some Soda Bread and Irish Coffee.

Too nice a day not to have a BBQ.
Traditional : Hot Dogs, Burgers, Italian Sausage
Potato Salad (German and regular) and Greek Salad.
Chicken Cutlets from last night as back-up.
Blue Point Rastafar Rye as the beer.



Movies on demand had Tom Jones. I'm now
inspired to read the Fielding tome. I hear it is
not as much fun as the movie. Hugh Griffith is a
blast. Gutenberg text download.



Blue Point Rastafar Rye, 7% ABV, was the latest
Growler beer from Community Beverages. A smooth
tasty piece of work. Nice beer for the current heat wave.
