Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of July 12, 2020

By David Himmel

• Prints on masks are the new bumper stickers.

• I have always preferred my lunch around 10:30 a.m. This is not brunch. It’s lunch. Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich, applesauce and three Oreos. It’s either the lunch of a seven-year-old or an entire Jack’s frozen pizza. Either way, I want it at 10:30.

• No shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service.

• Lately, I’m in the mood to read only the writings of Plath, Thompson, and Bourdain. This may be a warning sign I’m not paying close enough attention to.

• I often feel like a criminal for not feeling more. Thing is, I’m kind of spent. Or maybe I’m just tired of being told my slightly different opinion is wrong. YOUR SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT OPINION IS WRONG!

• Side-by-side refrigerators with narrow, vertical freezers are humanity’s most despicable creation. Worse than pollution, weapons of war, and blind American patriotism combined.
