So - I don't know if everyone realizes this but there's but nothing on television except Coronavirus. It's a constant battering ram of news cycles. More reported cases. More deaths. More calamity. It's actually exhausting - with every new report, I have to actively work against feeling hopeless and stressed.
It's too much.
So earlier this week, while looking for a distraction from all things Coronavirus, a friend asked me if I had watched the Netflix docuseries "Tiger King." I hadn't even heard of it and instantly looked it up. I mean - it's not like I had anything else to do.

| This is the proverbial boat we found ourselves in this week. |
My sister, mom, husband and I started watching that day - and I'm not kidding you...It. Is. Something. Else. A lot of people say there are a lot of tv shows and movies that are absolutely nuts, but this one - this one puts all the rest to shame. Nothing compares to this show.
And, we're only on Episode 4!
Not everyone in the house is digging the docuseries as much as I am. My wonderful, smart, brilliant, 82 year old mother has not entirely embraced the Tiger King. Here's a little glimpse of watching the show with Jean - which, I promise you, only adds more hilarity to the entire spectacle...
Episode 1: "These people. are. strange." (Heavy emphasis on strange.)
Episode 2: Silence (I assume she's shocked speechless by this point.)
Episode 3: She walked out.
Episode 4: "Oh, Lordy! The smartest things on this show are the tigers!" (She's not wrong.)
If you're watching, or have watched the Tiger King, you can understand these reactions perfectly. If you haven't watched, and are considering watching, please don't dare say I recommended it to you. I can't bear that kind of responsibility right now. But, if you do decide to watch...
