If you have a pet, describe what he/she is doing right now, but address them as "the drunk (guy/chick) at the end of the bar"

Assuming this isn't an April Fools joke, it could bode well for recruiting. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/04/01/uc-to-ease-admission-requirements-no-sat-no-minimum-grades-due-to-coronavirus/

Crowdsource: To Karen or Not to Karen - We go houseboating on Shasta every year for spring break. It's my favorite vacation of the year. We to fish, bbq, relax, unplug - it's just quiet and peaceful. With the shelter in place, my wife and I have decided that it's just not safe to go this year. And in fact, we suspected that the marina renting houseboats would likely be shut down anyway as non-essential. We were surprised when we called them to find that they're still open. "Motels are open. We're just like motels on the water." After explaining that we were worried about being pulled over by the police for non-essential travel on the way there, etc. etc., they agreed to give us a credit to use for next year's spring break. Since I was curious, I looked up the Shasta County ordinances and they echo the State mandates to close non-essential businesses. And they have this big button, "click to report non-compliance." I could see a small family like ours actually being relatively safe as a socially-distant little boat...but I cannot imagine how the giant party boats(12-16 capacity) which typically involve multiple groups sharing boats/costs would be a good idea right now.

Exercise: 200 push-ups each eve, 600 crunches every day, work with 20 lb. dumbbells every other day, 3 mile walks. Used to do 10 bench reps @225 lbs. (A bunch of years ago). In addition to the three square meals.

Kind of a lot. April Fools seems less 'foolish' this year.

Workouts: Nice job everyone from yesterday's thread. Esp Leland who seriously seems to be kicking *ss. Admittedly, I've been dogging it for a while. Sprained my wrist pretty badly a while back and it's been slow to heal. But it's finally strong enough that I can do some limited workouts. Yesterday(and planned for today): Elastic band shoulder presses, curls, rows, flies, lat pulldowns, rows, press, twists. Evil PT series for legs/hip. Did about an hour of forms/sparring. Light bag work...although might pass today since wrist didn't seem to like the impact.
