Business as usual

Life is moving right along and it’s business as usual for the most part.  I am still processing the loss (death) of my co-worker.  We worked close even though were both in different offices and different states.  We never met in person, only virtually through our video phones at work or in video conferences.  I will get through it, this isn’t the first co-worker I lost to death.  I was thinking about some of the other folks and they are memories now.  It’s a shame but my grandfather had a saying “Out of sight, out of mind”.  There is a lot of truth to that.  We don’t want to forget people but life happens and you keep moving left, right, left.  The next thing you know presto you forget about them.  It seems so wrong but that is the way it is. 

On a musical note, Charlie Puth had his Yoop app concert last night.  The price for admission was up to $22 and if you wanted to do the concert and the afterparty it was $90.  As big of a Charlie Puth fan I am, I didn’t go.  I learned that this was an interactive concert and that he could see and hear his fans.  That sounds like a zoom call gone wild.  He was supposed to have interacted with folks at the afterparty as well and that would have been nice to experience but it was a bit on the high side for just a couple hours of entertainment.  I thought for sure someone would find a way to pirate the stream or at least post footage of the concert after the fact but the only thing I can find thus far is a couple photos on social media, no footage whatsoever. 

Instead of the concert I found a biography movie done about Tina Turner.  It was an hour and 45 minutes.  I saw it via Starz.  It was enlightening and I wish she was still making albums and touring but I realize that is a lot of work and like everything else it becomes much more of a hassle the older you get. 

I’ve got a wide variety when it comes to musical taste.  I am not big into Rap, Country or the Steve Urkel Polka.  I listen mostly to pop and rock & roll there is some rap and country but definitely no polka music!  Were all stars in our living rooms, bathrooms and vehicles.  However, my momma cat knew that I sounded horrible and she would do everything in the world to let me know that I sounded horrible.  She only would permit me to sing 1 song and that was her theme, which was an abbreviated version of Pretty Woman.  Gator doesn’t object much but she doesn’t appreciate it when I listen to music on my phone, she much prefers that I have head phones or ear buds in.  If it comes on TV or if I am on my computer that is totally fine. 

The trash is out by the curb and it’s a abnormally cold Spring day here.  It was down to freezing last night and we have one more night of that, then Spring will be back.  My allergies are going bananas, which isn’t a good thing. 

I am loathing Saturday because it is going to be a busy day of running and I really need to get up early.  If things work out as I have planned I will be rewarding myself with a trip to get pizza.  It will be a nice change of pace and a road trip sounds like fun.  Sunday hopefully will be fun and enjoyable, if not I hope the food is at least good. 

Going to figure out what is for dinner after I deal with my poor nose and then it will be time to find something to watch to pass the time until bed time rolls around. 

Here’s hoping that life is treating you well and that your safe.  Be well and take care of each other.  Talk with you all again soon.
