“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all,
both now and forever… amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14 KJV)”

While I could know a few recreational herbalists,
“I don’t smoke, drink or chew, or run with those who do,”
seriously, someone had to explain “skunk-weed” to me.

Learning is easier if you are honest about your own ignorance.

People want to seem "in the know." They try to signal that they are intelligent and informed. This is often counterproductive. Insecurity is the enemy of learning. A master knows how to be a beginner. — 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝙋𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙨𝙩 (@PsychologyDoc) April 21, 2020

“If it takes 6 to 8 days to get test results back plus it takes around a week for the virus to start, ‘Kentucky sees the highest spike in corona-virus cases after lock-down protests’ Misinformation at its finest.”

“My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. (Isaiah 26:9)”

Sing ‘Blue Monday’ for Me

Rearranging furniture, I have been watching copious amounts of YouTube, “Wet Dream - Kip Addotta,” of Dr. Demento fame, “Blue Monday (2016 Remaster),” recognizable from Wonder Woman 1984 and Top Gear, and “Spring Anime 2020 in a Nutshell”

watching with a bottle of mead, watching the bottle of mead, consuming the bottle of mead or is a bottle of mead in the audience with you?

Having recently bought a 4K TV for himself, my friend gifted me a 37-in LCD TV, now my primary monitor at a new native resolution of 1920 x 1080 on VGA pic.twitter.com/VnRRlooK7L

I’m placing a chest of drawers underneath my secondary monitor, a move that blocked an electrical outlet, so I connected the power cable from the power strip to another electrical outlet underneath the desk, which was a fun spectacle, pop pop! :-)

Happy 40th birthday, f***** (Thanks, bro)

Difficulties with systems persisted so I can say in retrospect that I made the right choice to leave work early on Thursday and I was emotionally moved by episodes of Violet Evergarden.

“For to set the mind on the flesh is death, (Romans 8:6-8)
but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God,
for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.
Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”

A sad side salad (I am disappoint)

Going outside, to get the mail and see if the moon was visible, my father was startled when I said something else to him after I had said hello. “Why are you home?!”

While I went to lunch, “A system went down, so I couldn’t work,” which was mostly true. Being Scott Malkinson, cholesterol has happened to me like Edward Furlong, the effervescent tablets for my allergies wear off and my thinking gets clouded and I get darkly moody, so I got impatient waiting for a Word of the Day on Dictionary.com, force majeure, to be resolved. I appreciate restaurant workers, when I changed my side item at the window, they had a single remaining side salad, which was only lettuce and cheese.

“The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. (1 Peter 4:7)”

After the coronavirus, life will never be the same. Social interactions will change. More people will work from home. Priorities are changing with demands for healthcare, safer working conditions and family time. Balance. Sane people worry about the next pandemic and rightly so.

Our neighbor had some sewer work done, and three sections of the sidewalk were replaced today so I didn’t bring up the trashcans until after I got home, but I met Adam, a neighbor who was walking his dog and works as an editing technician at Channel 5.

(serious matter to discuss; this is your opinion?)

“All are innocent until proven guilty, in a court of law!”

“In a time when political divisiveness seems to be at an all-time high, I suppose it is somewhat encouraging that Democrats and Republicans have united and both decided to nominate (alledged) rapists for President.”

“See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, (1 Thessalonians 5:15)
but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.”

“An update on Bernie Sanders, I’ve just learned through the Bernie Victory Captains chat:

Bernie HAS NOT dropped out. He has suspended his campaign to focus on the pandemic instead of ads, fundraising, and rallies. This means he will still be on the primary ballot!

Bernie still plans to get as many delegates as he can, and is hoping for a contested convention.

PLEASE GO VOTE. Share your favorite memories on this thread:

Bernie Sanders has suspended his campaign, but the struggles continue, and we are asking you to vote for Bernie by mail.”

“After this, he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi,
sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, ‘Follow me.’
And leaving everything, he rose and followed him. (Luke 5:27-28)”

“Covid19 is a serious threat. If you don’t know that by now, then you never will. Fear is not what we need. Fear can be useful when an immediate response to danger is needed. In the long term, fear can be debilitating and counterproductive. Fear can cause people to irrational things. What is needed is cautious, rational behavior.”
