in search of that groove thang

Today is Sunday.
That should mean watch "CBS Sunday Morning", then go to church.
No, and no.
The local CBS channel had no audio, so I jumped online to watch the show.
No, and no.
That website insisted on shoving their cookie into my jar if I wanted to watch.
(Yeah, that sounds a little dirty, but it just came out that way.
Hey, I gotta get my kicks where I can, one pun at a time.)
Since they were being rude, I bounced to youTube.
All I wanted was a bit of Jim Gaffigan, to see how his clan was weathering their enforced stay-cation in Manhattan.
His channel freely gifted six of his segments, including the one that made me cry.
I very much enjoyed the episode in which he likened his family to the cast of "Alice", a show I grew up watching.
That segment was pretty funny!
I hung around in his space for a while, enjoying the candor-flavored humor.
Then, I discovered this segment: "Kids ask about COVID-19".
Wow.
He had arranged for his five children to field questions to an actual guru, who had answered honestly and in words appropriate to their ages.
Wow.
What a good dad!
I'm posting that to fb when I go to Jim's movie tonight.
Well, if he has a movie tonight.
CBS didn't have an accessible show this morning, nor did my church.
I don't know if the issue was with Asbury Memorial or their youTube site.
Whichever is of no matter: going to church was a moot point.

So, I took a shower and affixed a fresh bandage to the spot vacated by the mole.
See the new little crater in the upper center?
Doc Brown, the new dermatologist at the Savannah VA center, described the mole as having irregular coloring and irregular edges.
Yep, it had to go to the lab with its bad self!
Plus, he froze the spot where the tick had been, on my back, below my left ribs.
What a relief!
Another sense of relief came soon after, when I did as Elisa did.
(smile!)
I make sure to shower every other day, mostly for that perk.
(smile!)

What next to do as I once would do on a Sunday?
Well, as good fortune would have it, I'd snagged issues of "Connect Savannah" and "DO!" on my River Street walk back to car.
That meant I had "News of the Weird" to read for the first time in three months!
I'll be sharing those with others, too.
(smile!)
Well, that was a lovely bit of normalcy!
How about a nice hit of Jonesin' Crossword to get me over the line again?
Especially as it's been almost a year since I had a memorable fix of that drug...
but it turned out to be just a tease, looking like a charmer, but the carpet didn't match the rug, if you catch my drift.
What was on top of the head didn't correspond to what was going on down in the pants.
No sirreebob, the clues below were not for the numbers in that grid above, which was actually for a much older puzzle back in January.
I guess Jim Morekis slipped again in that issue.
Drats and double drats, and phooey, too.

Fortunately, the competing entertainment newspaper brought it, full on, with humor to boot.
Good job, Zach Dennis of the Savannah Morning News!
Good work on writing the crossword puzzle, Kevin Christian and Michael Lopez!
I enjoyed going fencing with the pirate's irate rat and learning about that salient alien lie while quaffing the stalest tale's ale!
Now, to go buy milk... maybe.
After all, Sunday is a day of rest.
(smile!)
