In the midst of a pandemic and this is the most important thing in the world for Americans:

I Am the Police
Not that I’m trying to be, but I kind of am now the physical distancing police. How is it that a 60-something year old man (in a green shirt) walks by us in the park in La Mirada, coughs a couple times loudly without lowering head, nor covering mouth, nor coughing into elbow nor shirt,…
Panfilo
Panfilo runs for West Side–one of the top teams in the NYC area. He is strong, fast and healthy. See the “A” on Panfilo’s bib number? This means he starts up front in Central Park races. Which in turn means he is one of the faster runners around town. I pray his strength and endurance…
Praise to the Dollar
Let’s praise the Almighty Dollar. Since Staples is open here in LA County, Office Depot is, too. Since major grocery store chains are open, so is Big Lots. Aldi. Target is also open. Which means I’m sure Wal Mart is, too. Makes me so proud. Marijuana shops are open, so liquor stores are, as well….

Canceled
Now what?! If you’d told me even 3 days ago: “You will be in the USA on Friday,” I would have replied: “You are insane.” And yet, “here I am,” as Skid Row so aptly said. After this layover, and on into Los Angeles, I honestly do not know what awaits me.
Breaking News from China
(apologies for cut off words) This will most definitely alter the course of my current flight itinerary–I’m at Queenstown, NZ airport now–as well as my life…
The Crossroads
It’s taken around 12 hours in the past two days, not to mention more time over days before, to finally secure a reasonable route out of New Zealand. Very few flight routes are available. Every Southeast Asian nation I can name has closed its borders, even to transiting passengers. Prices are so outrageous you’d be…
