I believed that it was the noted expert Dr. Winston O'Boogie who sang that "life is what happens to you while you're making other plans," on his come-back LP in November of 1980.(I also saw that Yoko released some rare film of them in the studio from 1971 earlier this month, which keeps this old man happily occupied.)

I continue to spend time with my dogs. They do not talk about the virus or politics, which is nice. Then I've just taken a call from a local, very mentally ill man, who was angry at various people who are stressed due to the virus. It took me a bit of time and patience to convince him that he and I, being as wise as foxes, understand others are very upset, and we want to be kind to them. And not yell at or threaten them, or the policeman who told him to go home and stay inside.

Life is indeed what happens while we are making other plans!
