I think I have watched everything that the streaming video services have to offer. I have exhausted Netflix and Hulu. I have run the gamut of every genre on Amazon Prime. Mickey Mouse himself asked me not to watch anything else on Disney Plus.

A few months ago, we had some trouble here at the house and had to call a plumber. Well, as renters, we actually called the emergency maintenance number and the tired woman at the other end of the line took a message and she actually called the plumber. 

I'd like to take a few moments this week and thank some of the readers for their contributions to the column.

Often in this column, I have commented on some of the ridiculous things I notice on a daily basis. Some things are mildly amusing. Others are perplexing. Some are ironic and others are, well, truly weird. 

I think one of the hardest things during this time of quarantine is planning meals that are not only delicious but also not redundant.

I'm tired. You would think with all this stuff about staying at home and not doing anything, I would be well-rested. I'm not. Nowhere close to it. 

I know a lot of you are bored. I'm pretty bored myself. I find that being bored makes me more tired than being active. I think it should be the other way around, but that's not what happens. Boredom causes more of us to be tired and hungry than anything else. 

There are a lot of you out there that could use some levity. The events of the last week or so have whipped this country into a frenzy not seen in a very long time. Some folks believe it will blow over in a few weeks and others think it is the apocalypse. 

Every few months, I like to go to the old mailbag and see what the readers are sending me. Truth be told, there usually aren't a lot of letters and cards and most of what is in the old mailbag is junk mail.

I have been thinking of a lot of absurd things lately. When I say absurd, I mean really out there. Goofy. Wacko. Loony Tunes. The stuff I am thinking of could and probably should get me committed.
