ferret's doing his best, hope you are too
I am in Florida helping my mom endure this Coronavirus pandemic.
I'm still paying rent for my Elizabeth NJ apartment since I don't want to lose all my stuff.
Who knows when I can return to my "normal" life.
My mom is 95. She's totally unaware of what's happening due to her severe dementia and Alzheimers.
She does not know who I am and cannot recognize anyone.
But her body lives on and on thanks to her amazing full time caregivers.
Dad died a year ago from lung cancer. Had he survived, he would be at high risk.
So I'm here trying to take his place and fill his shoes.
It's demoralizing how I cannot enjoy simple things anymore.
Cannot visit friends or neighbors.
Cannot swim: the swimming pool was just closed.
Cannot just eat lunch out: no more seating, even outside.
It's like being under the worst of Klingon rule :-(
I was musing how I used to enjoy the "sense of wonder" with great illusionists/magicians
such as Doug Henning or Harry Anderson (who loves ferrets and was featured in Modern Ferret magazine).
I guess Penn and Teller are still tops, with their Master Class and TV show "Fool Us"

I need to watch movies that are pure fantasy and optimism.
Gotta watch more silly anime!
We all need to exhibit fortitude and courage, just as NY Mayor LaGuardia said long ago.
May we all meet again in happier times.
