Yes, HG/BSK are in self imposed quarantine at HG/BSK’s New Mexico home. This is in response to the coronavirus emergency declared by New Mexico’s Governor. HG/BSK are finding the quarantine quite pleasant. Accompanied by Toby, The Wonder Dog (immune to the virus), there are pleasant strolls on HG/BSK’s scenic five acres of meadows, orchards and gardens (daffodils have made an abundant appearance and forsythia has begun to flower). Prescient BSK stocked up on toilet paper and paper towels at Sam’s Club. Lots of food in the freezer and pantry. Last night there was a wonderful Chinese stir fry of ground pork and vegetables. The night before, there was a down-home Jewish dish of egg barley and orzo with fried onions and mushrooms. Topped with sour cream (by HG) and crumbled Israeli feta cheese (by BSK). An Asian spicy red lentil soup for tonight and thick pork chops tomorrow. The wine room (designed and stocked by sommelier BSK) is full of good bottles. Splendid dining and drinking habits are being maintained. Much swimming and exercising in HG/BSK’s pool house. The lap pool is heated to a comfy 89 degrees. BSK keeps busy making pottery art in the BSK studio. HG, writes, reads and thinks in HG’s office. Only anxiety is the sharp downward curve of HG/BSK’s conservative preferred stock portfolio. However, HG/BSK believes that government and bank financial measures will create an upturn. So, in the meantime, HG/BSK are staying healthy (knock wood). As the wise and wily Hyman Roth character said to Michael Corleone in “Godfather Two”: “Michael, Good health. The most important thing !! “.
