Hey Journal, I didn’t expect to be back so soon, but there’s this virus going around, and to protect the players, they put the season on hold. I hope. I am starting to get a little stir-crazy, so when they announced that the liquor stores were closing, I made my list and hopped into the car. I practiced my ‘social distancing’ by pretending to have a phone conversation or coughing a lot, as I filled up my cart. Guinness, Blue Ribbon, and Yuengling, oh my! Also picked up some wine and a couple of bottles of Tanqueray gin. The store was starting to fill as I left, so I was thankful I got there early.

Things have progressively got worse, as people have started to lose their minds. For example, today I was stocking up on some healthy items at Whole Foods, when a fight broke out. I was sitting in the food section simple enjoying some hummus and olives when there was a commotion near the frozen isle. Two guys were arguing about some frozen soy burgers. Apparently, one guy accused the other guy of stealing a bag from his cart. The other guy was shouting that he needs to share because he had a second bag in his cart. The first guy then chucked an avocado and screamed, ” I’m from East Hills, and you don’t want none of this, Bitch”. It was a pretty good fight, but when the bottle of Perrier started to fly, I knew it was time to leave.

Yesterday, I drove all over the regent square area and squirrel hill looking for toilet paper, but I came home without anything. So, I have decided to fight my way for some whole sell goods. After what I saw yesterday, I showed up to Costco ready for war. With my helmet on and an old skate blade in my back pocket, I showed up at 5 am. There was a decent line, but I was able to selfie my way up the front. I was able to sprint to the paper isle and loaded up. Next, was the water isle, which was difficult to get to, as I had to pass the meat isle. The horrors I saw in the cleaning isle will haunt me for years. It took me 2 hrs to check out, but I made it home with my loot.

Well, that’s it. I’m trying to be diligent with my workouts, but I started watching Witcher. Anyway it’s Marquita Thursday and I’m about to play NHL 2011 with some teammates on Xbox.

House-keeping:

Congratulation to Dr Rad, who will be doctoring down in Augusta, Gerogia. It is kinda far for to travel for a prostate exam, but as Ungaba can attest to, he has the softest hands in the biz.
