Ten Things You Can Do on 'Lock-Down'

If you were on some 14-day wait-and-see virus watch, or just sent home for two to four weeks?  This is my list of things to do:

1.  Do that self-help re-sod job for your lawn.  Figure with basic landscaping and everything involved....a good two weeks of work for everything.

2.  Pick up White Fang, Call of the Wild and The Little Lady of the Big House.  All books by Jack London.  Note on 'Big House'.....it's a bit naughty and a bit depressing in the end.

3.  Re-watch all the episodes of Seinfeld.  All 180 of them.

4.  Buy a Van Gogh paint-by-the numbers kit, with the 36 colors. 

5.  Watch CNN around the clock.

6.  Write a 600-page novel on a trailer-suburb, lost love, freaky nutcase women, and what would happen if everyone had to stay in their little 'world' for a month.

7.  Buy a broken lawnmower and rebuild it from scratch, using YouTube videos.

8.  Watch the weather channel around the clock.

9.  Order up a case of PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon beer) daily from the local grocery, and just hang out on the patio with some R E M tunes, and some blue grass classics.

10.  Just put a chair by the mailbox, and count cars all day. 

I'm pretty sure at the end, you will be ready to return to work.
