Bless me Father for I have sinned. It has been 24 days since our last Skorpions Varese American football practice . . .
It will be at least 20 more days before we are allowed to hit the field again.
Day XIX of the Great Italian Lockdown was pretty much like most of the others. I followed the Prime Directive to STAY AT HOME and used my time of solitude and contemplation to continue reading, watching another episode of Jack Taylor on Netflix and keeping in contact with others via the internet.
In news from America's response to the Coronavirus outbreak it was once again confirmed . . .
This person is not a leader
The Coronavirus news from Italia was not good either.
Thursday's deaths and recoveries
in Italia were just about even
AFI had a live podcast today
with several EuroBall coaches
discussing life during the Lockdown
Mike Wood, the Head Coach of the DI Italian Champion Seamen Milano, did a nice job on the podcast discussing what is going on with the virus and football here in Italia.
Mike is also featured in this AFI article on the same topic.

Even with all of this gloom and doom, a little levity (gallows humor?) helps from time to time.
Enzo Petrillo sent me this photo which I'll translate into English for you.
2019: Loser
2020: Responsible Adult
That pretty much sums up Bunker life for me.
OK, I'll make myself even
MORE alluring to Laurie
Thirty sets of one rep each it is then!
I was shocked to hear today that Milano, one of the world's most important fashion capitals was, in the midst of all of our problems, going ahead with their famed annual Fashion Week starting today.
The Red Carpet was rolled out in
Milano's high fashion Quadrilateral district
The Prada line, seen here, was widely acclaimed for creating this year's most chic, Haute Coutre outfits on any of the famous fashion house runways!
On another front, former Rio Mesa H.S. teachers Ed and Annie Ransom, flew back to California today from Finland with their two children.
Annie had been in Finland on a Fulbright Scholarship and the whole family had been living about an hour or so from Helsinki since January.
Amidst all of our shared Coronavirus issues, they decided that it was finally time to come home yesterday.
They flew from Helsinki to London and then on to Los Angeles. Ed messaged me from London's Heathrow Airport saying that it had been announced that their British Airlines flight to Los Angeles had 220 empty seats.
Social distancing would not be a problem for them on the final leg of the long journey home.
I missed the three Grandkids
a lot today
