I put ketchup on mine. Too soon?

Was this meant to be encouraging? Meanwhile, back at the ranch: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/13/who-officials-say-its-unclear-whether-recovered-coronavirus-patients-are-immune-to-second-infection.html

What was up with Connolly's double shiner?

It hit the spot. Made onion rings from scratch for lunch. If Covid-19 doesn't kill me, my current diet will.

I made the oddest mac and cheese. I only had ziti pasta and angel hair spaghetti and had to use soy milk for the cheese sauce. Surprisingly, the soy milk behaved pretty much like cow's milk when it was heated up in the roux. Slightly different flavor profile, but just fine nonetheless.

And I know why. Keith Radford was ahead of you in line at the store, rocking his mom jeans.

So you're wishing Covid-19 on NB? Unbelievable! (It had to be said.) I'm starting to hear and read some complexities and uncertainties about this idea of immunity after infection. Number one it's a novel virus and might not behave the way other coronaviruses have, so the length of time someone is immune might not be predictable at this point. Secondly, those who were asymptomatic might not be good candidates for donating their antibodies via plasma. Finally, I even heard — and the dude seemed legit — that although you might be immune, you could still be sub-clinically infected, and there's some question as to whether you could still give someone Covid-19. Fascinating stuff.

Tweet. I'm not good at making it look all tweet-like.

And the thread is resurrected.

CEO Twitter has donated 28% of his wealth to Covid-19 causes. One BILLION dollars. Double wow. https://www.cnet.com/news/twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey-pledges-1-billion-to-coronavirus-relief-1-2-million-to-related-domestic-violence/

Here it is. Quite an ink blot test. Tonight is my final HOME game pxp call on @MSGNetwork for the season. I always love living this dream with the home crowd behind a call. Thanks in advance for the privilege & opportunity, to the home crew, & those who have had encouraging words. #Sabres50

So you're saying they are Mega D... A Quiet Place was really good. It really had me going. I wonder if the sequel is going to be any good.

This is the way all those horror movies start. At dusk, Taro pulls off his toupee and puts on his goalie mask.

That was a huge part of my youth in the mid to late 70s. Murphy, Ralph Kiner and Lindsay Nelson taking turns at the mic. Channel 9 on a warm summer night.

Pegs doesn't care about having a good play by play guy. He cares about having good, fine, young men, Pegula People, representing him. He would have never hired a young, wild and woolly Jeanneret, who smoked, drank and spoke of jock straps on the air.

That's how I read it.

See, that's what got me in trouble in the first place.

Verne Lundquist at the Masters. "Oh wow! In your life!"

What is the Grand Tetons?

Taro's knowledge spans all epochs, it is timeless, endless and bottomless.

My first reaction was an eye roll. If he feels that way, why not retire now? I also harken back I don't know how many years where Rick has said some variation of this after a season. He's a touch on the dramatic side. However, this does sound as definitive as he's ever been. Still, my prediction remains... the only way he's coming out of that booth is on a stretcher. Wait...

Anyone who wanted to "let it rip" should do some quick math on 330 million people using just modest assumptions (25% get infected, 50% of those are symptomatic, 20% of those have to go to the hospital and 1% of those die). The death toll theoretically is about what we're going to see (82,500), but how would we have handled 8.25 million people who needed a hospital bed, in a matter of weeks? (Actually, in that scenario, many people would have died from lack of medical care.) It was always the scale of needed medical care that scared people. I scratch my head over anyone who's perplexed. When was the last time the flu sickened and killed thousands of healthcare workers as a direct result of taking care of patients? We should expect this kind of commentary in the coming weeks. "See? It wasn't that bad. The mitigation steps were an overreaction." The mitigation steps made it not that bad.

My boys' boys can swim! Well, one of my boys anyway.

Hoo boy, I dunno. I honor them and hope others will as well. Confiscate how? The only thing I can think of is raising taxes on the wealthy, and we never want to do that. I'd rather let them take the lead in voluntarily chipping in their fair share.
