When I was a child, I spake as a child and that was many bloody blue moons ago, I did all that spaking.  1945 to be exact. The first day of April was always fun. There was always someone that could pull an “April Fool” joke on you. They got very creative. One of the most popular and most used was “Your shoe is untied!” If they looked down at their shoe to see, you shouted- “April Fool! If you happen to have gotten yours dates mixed and on April 2nd, told someone their shoe is untied, they joyfully responded- “April one is done and past, you’re the biggest fool at last”-

There is nothing funny about this April 1st. Nothing at all. We (the world) are battling an invisible killer. No warring nation to date has come up with a more deadly weapon. An invisible weapon. With all the advanced technology we and’they’ have, nothing equals the force of this killer.

It has changed the lives, I would say of every person living on this earth. Maybe not in ways they yet know, but it could be days, weeks, months or years, but the sad ripple effects will ebb ashore everywhere.

Times Square New York City – Forever has been the glittering jewel of America’s Northeast. Now a virtual ghost town. Who would have guessed? No one would have believed you if you made such a prediction two months ago.It is one the   brightest, most beloved spots on earth, yet this killer doesn’t care.

You know by now, that i write a lot. I would like to write more during these difficult times, but I am stymied as what to write about. Seems we can’t get away from hearing about Corona virus – every where, every minute. And  we need to be kept informed, but there are other things can be said and heard to nourish and replenish the mind body and soul. I tread lightly- between preaching, punning and entertaining.

N.A. Booko- Now is your chance to size me up . . . or the present crisis  . .

So in the near future I will more or less write following the same path I have for the past 18 years on the Chatlist. Don’t mis-interpret it as me not being aware or not caring. I am a “deer in the headlight” just like everybody else. Just as terrified as anyone, or maybe more so, considering I am 84 years old.
