Thoughts with Scotch: Quarantine Edition

Been a couple of months since I posted.   A few random thoughts:

* I'm watching "The Wire" and halfway through Season 3.  I've heard many people praise it as the greatest show of all time- and I might end up agreeing with them.  The stories and the characters are fantastic.  I loved "Homicide:  Life on the Streets", and that show seems like the warm-up for this show.

* My weight was going up, but I'm working on my diet again.  Over a year on a Pescetarian diet, and no craving for meat.  

* No sports to discuss, and the sports podcasts I listen to are focussed on the Michael Jordan documentary.  I don't disagree that he's not the great basketball player of all time.  I just don't want to watch a 10 episode documentary on him.  

* Collecting the 2020 Topps Heritage set, which is styled after my favorite baseball card set of all time (the Topps 1971 set).  I suspect this will be the last individual set I put together;  after this, I will look for collecting certain players or mini sets.

* I've given up trying to post or even comment on world events.  I'm too tire and frustrated, and for my own sanity I'm working on the things I can.  I'm ignoring the forest for the trees, because I can do something about the trees.

Be well and stay safe, everyone
