Tomorrow is Easter Sunday.  Should you go to church?  Tomorrow I will look into the matter of how the Supreme Court has caused some serious COVID-19 clusters.  Hawaii itself has had two incidents during the past few weeks.  The Major League Baseball season started on Thursday, and only one series ( Baltimore-Boston ) was cancelled because of COVID-19.  In my posting that day , I mentioned that in the NCCA Women's Basketball Final Four oddsmakers gave Arizona a 4.76% chance of winning the championship.  Well, they beat top-rated Connecticut, and now play Stanford, who got lucky at the end to edge South Carolina, tomorrow at 6PM EDT ( noon Hawaii time ) on ESPN from the Alamodome, San Antonio.  This has to the first ever PAC-12 combination playing each other in the Big Dance final.  Today, Houston vs Baylor and Gonzaga vs UCLA, who were given a 3.85% chance of winning it all.  The men's finals will be played on Monday Night at 9PM EDT ( 3PM Hawaii ) on CBS from Lucas Oil Stadium

I today received this video clip of the 1950's .  This is Sunday, click on that and reminisce a bit.  Of course, you need to be really old to appreciate those days. I don't remember much of my years from zero to 9.  I am what I am today because of my experiences from 10 to 19. That's a period from 1950-1959.  Those days are disappearing.  Really. To begin, on my cable system there are 50 Music Choice channels.  Starts with 800 Hawaiian.  Then from 801, too too much noise of today, with three even for toddlers.  Then 826 has music from 2000 to the present, followed by 90's, 80's, 70's, solid gold ( essentially 95% 60's ), into four country stations, a mix of stuff through jazz and swing ( meaning 1940's ) and classical into #850.   There is nothing from 1950-59 .  Of course zero from 1939 backwards, but most of those people are long gone anyway or can't hear too well. Was that just accidental?  Nope.  As  you know, I now have Echo with Alexa.  I ask h

I grew up in my family, went to college and always had roommates, graduated and spent six months in Naalehu, mostly alone, then got married, until my wife passed away 47 years later.  I then lived a single life for five years, moving next door into 15 Craigside six years ago, joining 200 others in our seniors' community.  That pretty much sums up my 80 years.  I enjoyed the solitude, but feel comfortable around people. I'm now here at 15 Craigside for the rest of my life because they promised to take care of me forever, even if I run out of money.  Of course, the catch is that they only let you in if you can afford it, and make sure you never deplete your resources. Life here has been good...no, make that great.  We just got notified that our Moderna vaccination will come soon.  It is amazing that we have not had even one COVID-19 case among the 15 C residents.  In the USA, with less than 1% ( 0.8% ) of the national population,  45% of all pandemic deaths have occurred in nurs
