Argyle Bow Tie o’ the Day and I are not freaking out about the entirety of the COVID-19 experience, but we do take it seriously. I am especially cognizant of the six foot social distancing guideline. Please don’t violate that rule if you run into me somewhere, or I might look like this.

This is a photo of me self-checking out at DICK’S MARKET today when one of my cashier pals was apparently super glad to see me. She walked over to within a foot of my person. She’s a pleasant woman who is in charge of watching me—and others—check out truthfully at the self- checkout. Without even thinking about it, I automatically moved away from her at the rate of blurry lickety-split. She apologized for her momentary forgetfulness about the guideline regarding social distancing. After I regained my composure, we chatted from afar about the truly valuable things in life: pets, kids, parents, and bow ties. Sounds about right to me.

The Word Came Down From On High

This is Suzanne in her Tyvek work suit, on the job in our house. She has made her hazmat suit more dashing by wearing Bow Tie o’ the Day—at my suggestion, of course.

Last week, Suzanne was working part-time at her office and part-time at home. That’s what she was told to do, so she did it. Earlier this week, she was told to work from home for the foreseeable future. She is now slaving away, six feet from her Ultimate SewingBox, and six feet away from me. When it comes to COVID-19, Suzanne is a bit overly dramatic, if you ask me.

FYI Suzanne is such a good sport. When I ask her if she will help with one of my TIE O’ THE DAY ideas, she’s always game for whatever I’ve thought up. Not once has she ever said NO. Not once has she ever said, “Don’t make me look stupid.”
