Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately, but I’ve been busy self-quarantining. Actually, I’ve been self-quarantining for years, out of an abundance of caution. So you might think life hasn’t changed much at all for me since the coronavirus pandemic hijacked our lives, but you’d be surprised.
For one thing, I’m a pretty sensitive guy, and I can sense my mamas’ anxiety about it all. My daily routine is all different now, too. Mama G is spending much more time at home, channeling her feelings of helplessness into painting projects. If the coronavirus doesn’t kill us first, the paint fumes just might! Mysterious early-morning shopping trips have ended with Those Two high-fiving each other over a four-pack of toilet paper, and me being served food I don’t really like. Mama C just canceled a trip to Florida, and is now home 24/7 as well. I love my mamas dearly, but let’s just say that “family time” can be overrated.
So I have just been hanging out, wondering what the future will bring. There’s only so much catnip a guy can consume each day to avoid reality.
Of course no one knows how, or when, the pandemic will end. And maybe things will never be “normal” as we knew them before, but they will surely get better.
Stay healthy out there!

Dear Mr. Oxbow, how in the world can you possibly be bored! You have two mamas that are now home (for a short while-Mama C) 24/7. You must be incredibly busy supervising those two. You must ensure that they are washing their hands frequently…maybe on the same schedule that you fastidiously keep .
You must ensure that they are staying away from crowds and kindly ordering take out/delivery food from local restaurants to keep them afloat. You must keep an eye on the both of them for any signs of anxiety. You are the “calmer in chief” for each of them. A soft purr or a little nudge will help them enormously. This is the time to count our blessings. It is time to watch the miracle of spring unfold right in front of us. It is a time for creating clarity about what is essential in each of our lives. Blessings to all of you.

Hey Oxbow, we’ve been following your entertaining posts from the start, but only now, in these crazy times, we thought we’d send a quick “hi” to wish you all the strength and endurance to get through this global catastrophe, since it doesn’t seem to end in the near future. And hey you should be happy to have your mamas around you all the time now.😊
Stay safe and healthy!!
