I heard President Trump say this a few weeks ago after a reporter asked a question, clearly looking for a “gotcha” moment. I really liked his response. I’m going to try to work this in to every conversation I have for the foreseeable future.

Does anyone else have trouble going back to sleep after breakfast? Right, me neither.
“National Lampoon’s Covid-19 Vacation: ??”
I’m not sure how I feel about this song from Bon Jovi. It’s no “Bed of Roses,” I’ll say that.
I’m sure every city’s downtown is more like a ghost town. It’s eery. Here’s Nashville’s downtown.
Change isn’t always a bad thing.
Will the old normal ever be something we experience again?
I’m having allergies like I normally do this time of year but I’m afraid to touch my face, sneeze, sniffle, or do pretty much anything related to the allergies where people can see or hear me.
Lately, I do think the younger you are, the dumber you are. Stop hanging out like nothing’s going to happen, ya dang whippersnappers!
… and yet, people are amazing.
Once this is over, I’m not sure I want things to go back to how they were.
Has anyone else NOT watched Tiger King?
“Covid-20”: The 20 pounds of weight you gain while being quarantined at home. Similar to college and what’s referred to as the “Freshman 15”.

Today I Googled, “Can an armadillo be a pet?” So yeah, this whole staying at home thing is going well. If you ever hear again that I’m asking about wild animals as pets, or that I’m cheering for the Gators, come check on me, please.

If you follow my blog, then it’s no secret I’ve been watching Perfect Strangers lately. Yes, the show from the late 80s/early 90s. Here’s a post about how it’s been going as I watch as an adult for the first time. This show, as you may remember, was part of a memorable line-up of Friday night sitcoms designed for kids, a block of scheduling called TGIF (Thank Goodness It’s Friday). The original lineup included Full House, Family Matters, Perfect Strangers, and Just the Ten of Us. Of course, it went on to include my favorite show of all time… Boy Meets World.
But the point of this post… at the very center is an actor named Ernie Sabella.
He played the boss man at Larry and Balki’s work in season 1 of Perfect Strangers. Well, right away I remembered him for playing the boss on another popular show around the same time: Mr. Carosi, the boss at Malibu Sands Beach Club in season 3 of Saved by the Bell. Yes, the same guy Zack Morris was always at odds with… and Zack also dated his daughter! I mentioned this to a clever and like-minded friend who then pointed out the location of the Malibu Sands Beach Club is the very same location used in the original Beverly Hills 90210. Both Brandon and Dylan worked at the Beverly Hills Beach Club, different name than what was used on SBTB but the same exact set!
Crazzzzzy!!!!!
My friend gets major kudos for making this connection.
Well, we also shouldn’t forget the connection I actually kind of sort of forgot about… Tiffany Amber Theissen played Kelly Kapowski on SBTB and then Valerie on 90210. I guess they knew she was a teen heart throb so another role on a popular teen show just made sense. To bring this full circle, T-Theiss is also linked to Perfect Strangers in another rather roundabout way… she appeared on an episode of Step by Step… a show featured in the Friday comedy block TGIF (although not one of the original TGIF shows).
Was Hollywood just a small town back then, or did Miller-Boyett become the GOAT for sitcom TV shows before calling anything “the GOAT” was a thing?
Anywho, thanks for going down the rabbit hole with me on this one 🙂
