We can start a new tradition, Thanksgiving baseball. Big-time rival high schools playing a game of rounders in front of alumni, students, cheerleaders, mascots, teachers, family, and friends, followed by traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinners.

Pass me the gravy and the dressing. Can I have seconds on the mashed potatoes and the turnips? Can't wait for the pumpkin pie for dessert. How about that exciting bases loaded walk in the bottom of the seventh? The home crowd went wild.

That'd be an old tradition. Thanksgiving day was the traditional end of the baseball season a century and a half ago. Football was any time they felt like it.

I'm hoping the demonstrations and riots lead to the end of all this people distancing, once everyone realizes they didn't lead to any increase in sickness -- except for the diseases of getting a brick in your head or getting shot by the cops.

The killing in Minneapolis was just the trigger. It's the go-out-of-business-now edicts, and the resulting unemployment and lack of social interaction that people were upset about. Imagine not even being allowed to date for months.

And I'm sure wearing a mask in public isn't an incentive toward illegal acts, right?

Tell me about it. I haven't been on a date since 1975. Married for thirty years, divorced for fifteen.

I recently had to visit my bank in person to deal with a credit card issue. It felt really strange entering the bank wearing a mask.
