1. Yikes. Some of those can actually be hard! ;)

Mrs. Unblock and mini-unblock often ask me what day it is because, while in quarantine and with no school over the summer, the days just blend into each other.

And I often don't know the exact date.

And if I were rushed to a hospital, I easily might not know which town it's in, especially if it's, say, the nearest hospital along the highway where the accident happened.


Of course, as a former emt, I know you can't be too literal when administering orientation tests....

2. Well, if fantasy takes over. I'd dearly love to block out much of the past three years.

So, I might let hope fuel my response and say, January 20, 2021.

4. Indeed. I'm not one who necessarily prays, but for RBG, I'll make the exception.

The good thoughts ought to have some power, regardless.

When I buy a watch, I have always gotten one that has the date. This has gone on since I was in my 20s. Things have gotten worse since the quarantine for me, too.

He wouldn’t be where he is without them, but of course he doesn’t know that. Go ahead Donny, go after them.

8. They might not know what to make of me with that "letter F" test.

Half the words I would come up with would contain a certain 4-letter cuss word, and those centered around flatuence. Then I'd top it off with "Frank Figliuzzi." (Former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence at the FBI.)
