Is This Real?

2020. All of 2020. Trump. COVID-19. Lockdowns. Masks. Remember when there were no masks? When if you went into a bank with a mask on they wouldn't let you in? Now they won't let you in without a mask. 

No court. Virtual court. We still dress like we were in court. The judges wear robes. The first virtual court appearance I made was from my house. I put on a shirt which is more than I usually have on at home. I didn't know how to dress for virtual court. But my colleagues were in shirt, tie and coat. My dress was inappropriate. So I started wearing the uniform from my home and it just felt surreal. The lockdown eased me into semi-retirement which is more retirement than semi- every day. I'm not going back. Can any of us go back to the way it was? Just roll into the office at 9, "Hey everybody, how was your seven month weekend?

No sports. Sports have virtually disappeared, even virtually. They are not covered in Google headlines. You have to strain to find them. The Stanley Cup Finals was played, you know. No, you didn't know. They're over now. I don't know who won. It wasn't covered. If the  "Heat" hadn't been on this Cinderella ride I would not have known the NBA playoffs were going on. 

207k(+) deaths. What?! If someone had told you...No, you wouldn't have believed it. The Disgustings still don't believe it. There about 150,000 fewer Disgustings than in January and they still don't believe it. 

The "Heat" in the Finals. Give me a break. Would the "Heat" be in the Finals if they weren't also in the Bubble? No. Things culture in bubbles like petri dishes. But you take the lid off and let the air in and poof! no more fungus amongus. Talent is to Culture what petri dish lids are to cultures. Will the "Heat" be in the NBA Finals next year? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

There has never been a year like 2020. Really, okay go ahead, you tell me, what year was like 2020? 

2020 GODDAMN!
