It’s in case you missed it Friday.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson tested positive for COVID-19. Why do we act so surprised when a celebrity, dignitary, athlete, or any other big who hah contracts the virus? The virus doesn’t know who’s who. It practices the diversity that we preach.
New Orleans Saints head football coach Sean Payton tested positive two weeks ago. He announced that doctors “cleared” him yesterday. If you had it and are now clear does that mean that you can do as you please without fear of reoccurrence? We guess so. You can only get the measles once. Is there a doctor in the BBR house that can set us straight?
Harlem Globetrotter legend Curly Neal passed away yesterday at a too early 77. The baddest, baldest dribbler on the globe was a great showman. He played (performed) in roughly 6000 games and won every one of them. He also won over millions of fans on five continents. Check out the one-minute highlight video here. Do it. You’ll still have 23:59 of stay at home time to fill afterward today.
Isn’t Sweet Georgia Brown the greatest theme song for a show ever? Close your eyes and whistle it. It’ll take you back to your childhood in a Harlem, NY minute.
From the Monday close to the Thursday close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose over 20%. It’s the largest three day gain percentage-wise for the average since 1930. Based on this morning’s opening a four-day winning streak looks dicey. Let’s not get greedy.
Boris Johnson’s news aside, the path chosen today was to lighten it up a bit. It’s been another long week. So for today, that’ll do it.
We’ll keep it short and sweet. Sweet like Georgia Brown.
