This Covid quarantine or stay at home order, whatever you want to call it, has been somewhat interesting. I’m in the hospitality industry and unfortunately it is one of the major industries that is really taking a financial hit. Being temporarily out of work causes one to be reflective, take an self-inventory of life. Realize what you have and be grateful. It really is a pause in life, so-to-speak. So far, I read 4 books, all fiction, took a Hospitality Mgt Certificate class from FAU, learned Linked In like a pro, (twice), and even made friends with the birds and squirrels in my courtyard. Feeding nuts to the birds and squirrels couldn’t help me feel like the old guy on the park bench feeding the pigeons.

Jacksperience – Have you had an allergy attack in a grocery store lately? I did! I needed to get through the store quickly only picking up a few things, my throat closed up; trying to breathe by way of coughing.. but trying to hold it back with the mask on not wanting to cough. or god forbid sneeze in public! A sneeze was coming on, and I didn’t want to create attention to myself and get kicked out of Publix! Oh, this Pandemic….

In the current events department, have you heard about the Crocs that KFC is now selling? They smell like fried chicken! And yes, go figure, they sold out in 30 minutes. They were on sale for $59.99 ea, however they are now being re-sold at a whopping price of $250 ea! How is it that dogs are not chasing the people wearing them? I can’t help but think of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry was at a friends house for dinner who was serving Mutton. He took bites, chewed and wrapped it in napkins and put it in his jacket pocket. Elaine was leaving and asked to borrow his jacket. Not knowing about the mutton, Elaine was followed and chased home by a pack of dogs! Thanks for the mutton Jerry! https://www.youtube.com/embed/rJW4xx5G3F0?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent
