President Trump enlisted Creed in the\nfight against the virus. He requested they write and perform a Fight\nthe Corona Virus RAWK Anthem<\/strong>. In an empty stadium, of\ncourse. Creed knows how that goes. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve spent much of the last four weeks\nplanting trees to restore a wrecked, poisoned watershed. It’s fine\nwork and I am totally alone except for birds and plants and bees. I\nam lucky to have this. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n My best friend of late has been a\nchipmunk. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve read 17 books in three weeks. Four\nwere Westerns. My favorite so far is a biography of the Danish writer\nIsak Dinesen by Judith Thurman. It might be the best literary\nbiography I have ever read. It teaches you about her incredible life\nand how to write and how not to live as a writer. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve built 14 snowdrift forts in three\nweeks. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve written absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I started my 150th<\/sup> or so\njournal last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m going to make a vegetarian\nmeatloaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My peas are coming up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is there a market for\nenvironmentally-conscious erotica?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have helped my elderly neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have wondered what percentage of\nAmericans have never planted a tree. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can feel people slipping away. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n I miss my great collaborator. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n The virus presents an opportunity for\nmany self-reflecting people to revolutionize their lives. I have\nfeeling they don’t have the courage to do it once the dust settles.\nBack to business as miserable usual. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n I watched another Fred Astaire movie.\nWhat is it about him and those ascots or scarves or whatever they are\ncalled around his neck? He looks the same age in every film and some\nof them are 30 to 40 years apart. The word that comes to mind when I\nwatch him is: debonair. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dog fever has struck. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n I keep seeing empty cans of Viennese\nsausages along the road. Is that the food of the apocalypse?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A tattooed, bearded, shirtless man did push-ups in the parking lot of the grocery store while his dog curled up snoozing next to his backpack.
