Tom and Scott take a swing at discussing golf, a sport neither plays or harbors a desire to live on a golf course. We do take our time machine back to 1963 and Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf hosted by Gene Sarazan, featuring a thrilling match between Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus.

Scott’s Zoom mini high school reunion prompts Tom to suggest the new term “Zoomion”. Which makes them recall the late, great Bennett Cerf and his “Treasury of Atrocious Puns”. And we fondly recall the early 60’s sitcom Bachelor Father, which we prefer to The Bachelor.

Scott receives an email from The Nobel Prize and although it doesn’t specifically say that Tom and Scott have been awarded the prize, just being on their email list seems to bode well for us. Plus, the difference between Len and Chris Berman.

Tom takes Scott’s suggestion and happily finds a colorful array of well priced socks at Neiman Marcus Last Call. Tom hasn’t bought any yet, but Scott approves of his slow, deliberate approach, which is like Governor Cuomo’s phased plan for reopening New York.

Today’s coffee of the day is a tasteful blend of high spirited laughter and ideas for a peaceful world. Too much coffee makes Tom angry and irritable, so he has an epiphany that may lead to the end of war, and the coveted Nobel Peace Prize, for both of us.

During these times, it’s the little things that get us through this. Like finding joy in choosing from the wildly colorful array of socks available online, Which is something Tom is about to do for the first time.

Although there are spiking case numbers in many states, we find solace in the good news that the CDC said that there is no risk from food or food packaging and very low risk from surfaces. But there are risks going to a bar in Texas, not just from the virus but by riding the mechanical bull or having the bouncer throw you out and say.”And stay out!”

We time travel back to 1951 and sex education pamphlets for young girls that Scott discovered in his garage. The Gift of Life, Sally and Mary and Kate Wondered, and You’re A Young Lady Now are our book club selections for today.

Tom sings a work in progress version of the Getting Through This theme song, Scott welcomes a 14 day quarantine for visitors to New York from states with spiking virus cases, and thinks they must agree to wear masks, socially distance, and not heckle at comedy clubs.

Tom and Scott love wearing masks. For the anonymity, for the woman who smiled and waved at Tom while he was wearing his mask and sunglasses, and for the chance for Scott to shop online for hours for all different kinds of masks.
