Happy Easter, 2020 -- April 12, 2020

Happy Easter, everyone.  Thanks to the TrumpVirus, we are stuck at home. But Jesus is still risen. 

The original Life Magazine was a humorous weekly that was published from 1883 to 1936. Here is the cover of their 1900 Easter Number.

Good Friday, 2020 -- April 10, 2020

I guess I won't be going anywhere at noon. 

Palm Sunday, 2020 -- April 5, 2020

Renaissance painter Giotto painted Christ entering Jerusalem in the 14th Century.

It seems strange to go through Palm Sunday without going to church and getting palms.

COVID-19 -- April 3, 2020

COVID-19 continues to take its toll.  New Orleans pianist and teacher, Ellis Marsalis, Jr, father of musicians Wynton, Branford, Delfeayo and Jason, has died from COVID-19 caused pneumonia.

Trumpeter Wallace Roney, who studied with Miles Davis has died.

Adam Schlesinger, member of Fountains of Wayne and one of the composers of "Stacy's Mom," died of complications from COVID-19.

Bill Withers, whose songs have always moved me, died, but of heart disease rather than something related to COVID-19.

I'm afraid I will have to continue to update this list.

Today should have been opening day for the Giants.

Churches are closed.  Restaurants are closed, except for take-out or delivery.
