Summon it Up

Closing many doors
Closing many doors
To keep the germs from getting out
To keep the germs from getting in

So that my emotional arrows
Will all fall short of their mark
Fall short of their mark

To keep the milk of human kindness
To keep the milk of human kindness
From getting in
From getting in
From getting in
From getting in

There'll be the breaking of the ancient Western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road

And the white man dancing...

You'll see your woman hanging upside down
Her features covered by her fallen gown
And all the lousy little poets
Coming round
Tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
And the white man dancin'

Speak, Boris, speak!

If I had the courage, and the money, and the skill, now would be a good time to kiss the crests of the Andes in a glider.   The path forward would be pocked with peril, but at least there would be a path forward, and most likely a gentle touchdown spot in the offing.

Si je t'aime, prends garde a toi.
Si tu m'aimes, prends garde a toi.

Kim Jong Un reported to be recuperating from emergency heart surgery.   Where is that MyPillow guy when you need him?

The cruise ship and its offspring, including the Penobscot windjammer.   The nail salon.  The Irish pub.   The health club and the comedy club.  The roller coaster.  The convention center, holding a convention as opposed to holding overflow medical equipment.  Tell your kids that they will be able to read about them in books.
