First, a big THANKS for all the kind words and comments on my “Random Thoughts” yesterday. I actually expected to get more kick-back than I did. I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels that way about the latest Executive Stay at Home and do nothing order.
OK, onward we go. Here are today’s “Random Thoughts”.
THE NUMBERS

Stay Home, Wash Your Hands, and Social Distance Yourself! Please stay healthy.
ANOTHER GREAT CORONAVIRUS PARODY SONG
I love how creative people are getting with their parody songs. Some of these are so well done.
Thank you to Kristie for sending me this one…
CELEBRITY DEATH
As a kid I couldn’t wait for the new issue of “Mad” magazine or “Cracked” magazine to hit the newstand. I loved those publications.
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mort Drucker. Mort was “Mad” magazine’s longest-tenured artist. He also did the poster for the movie “American Graffiti”. Mort died on Thursday at the age of 91. No cause of death was given.
RIP, Mort Drucker, whose caricatures revealed as much as they ridiculed. In your memory, we will continue to satirize even in dark times, and laugh like Idiots while doing it. pic.twitter.com/AUWEaIMWUe
