Mrs Olsen, like many public school teachers, has learned to appreciate solitude over the years. I moved into that stage permanently when I retired from teaching 23 years ago, and I have not once regretted the change. People wear on a person after a while, family excepted.
The Boston Marathon, The swim around Lido Key, and Whale Watching are indulgences. they serve no greater purpose than to entertain those who enjoy those activities.
When I was a kid, it was either Orange Crush or Grapette, nothing else was as good for our refreshing pleasure to drink.
Mom only bought us Coca-Cola in six-pack in glass bottles for when us kids would get stomach ailments, you know, barfing your little guts up. That and saltine crackers for a day or two.
The Boston Marathon has bee postponed until September 14, 2020. Indolence is no longer an industry, it is government policy.https://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon
Frazz15 hrs · And it’s Mrs. Olsen for the win! And I most definitely take the loss on this one. Specifically, any hope I had for a reputation as a visionary.

Years ago I discovered the perfect thing to give up for Lent — religion — and it hasn’t troubled me since.

Ah, so this episode takes place in September (the Boston Marathon has been delayed due to the COVID-19 crisis)
