For when one of us goes on the job, the other hits the hay
I hate wearing masks. I have done it before for medical and other protective reasons, but it sets off some of the same sensory issues as certain textures or kinds of touch and a substrate of my brain just screams chokingly at me the entire time that we can't deal with these sensations and my face needs to be clear now now now now now. I have never even covered my mouth with scarves in winter. At the end of these three or six or nine months, I am either going to be amazingly desensitized or no one is ever going to be able to touch my face again. So I hope the entire goddamn Commonwealth appreciates my sacrifice and also check out these cherry blossoms.
I saw a red-tailed hawk, too, but could not successfully photograph it on either of its perches on the cross-tree of the telephone pole or the corner of the Litchfield Block.
I have a new go-to quote every time I hear that the man in the White House has said anything at all, courtesy of George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart's "The Paperhanger," written for the American Theatre Wing's Lunchtime Follies c. 1942–45: "Isn't it wonderful how they always believe me? It's not as though I kept it a secret—I come right out and tell them what I'm going to do. They just can't believe that anyone can be as big a bastard as I am. You know, you can't tell how far a fellow could go, with a nature like mine."

I run and walk outside unmasked and do my darnedest to stay twelve feet away from other folks, usually across the street. I appreciate your sacrifice. I was furious this afternoon when we walked near the Lexington soccer fields and counted almost thirty people spread across two of the fields (we stayed on the Temple side of the street). I am making a mask tonight to wear to get curbside bagel pickup tomorrow.
Iago was like that. It kind of makes the audience into accomplices.

No marathon in three weeks, here. I am finding the destruction of communal activities difficult to deal with. I am not a person who participates in most of them, but it is important to me that they happen. It is just also important to me that as many people as possible stay alive, so.

Thank you. People are generally keeping their distance around here, which I appreciate. I do not appreciate the dudes who seem to think that because they're jogging or running, they don't have to make space, just speed up.

I hope they are good bagels.

I am sick at how many accomplices this particular Iago has.

Wicked Bagel does a good job. It also didn't require a mask. We called ahead with our order, paid with credit card on the phone, and called from the car when we parked. The worker came out and put the bagels in the trunk, so we never had close contact with anybody. I would think that for people without a car, they could leave the bag on the sidewalk, to be picked up and carried away. When we got home, we decanted the bagels from their bag to some bags of our own, did extensive hand washing, etc. Their bag did not come into our house. I did use the mask for Trader Joe's, and may post about that.
