Time Out!

We have been bad

God is giving us a timeout

I was very proud of myself for inventing that joke.  

Then my wife told me she had read it to me from the internet.

Is one of the symptoms of Covid-19 forgetfulness?  Or evidence that I have that problem that I can't remember the name of? 

Does Covid make you end sentences in prepositions that Mrs. Duffy and Mrs. Camutz would yell at me for?

I sense that they are looking down at me from on high with a baleful expression.

Is baleful the right word?

I did invent the joke below. I think.

Time Out!




We have 
been bad

This Too Shall Pass




This is a proverb from the medieval Levent (Persian, Hebrew and Turkey) around 1200 AD. The proverb means that all material conditions, whether good or bad, are transient. This proverb has the ability to make the happy person sad and the sad person happy because of the realization that both the 'best and worst of times' will soon pass.
