The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow gets attacked by a dog. Today’s Diary.
Tammy brought her dog Whiskey (for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, phonetic alphabet for What The F*ck) in this morning and she is still an exuberant puppy who, for some reason, is always inordinately glad to see her pal ol’ Sparrow…So glad to see me she leaped up at me and her nose landed one right in the cubes…Ouch…Not a direct shot, but enuff so that the reaction – bending over and yelping – was entirely instinctive and funny, because Tammy laffed.

The Diary of a Nobody/April 5
It’s Sparrow, an average man passing an average life…
Monday, April 5
It’s hardly a bulletin that we’re doing better business the first days this month than we did in April last year, but the big news is we’re doing even better than the first few days of April 2019…We are at 29K right now for this month and we were at 7K this time last year and at 19K two Aprils ago.

The Diary of a Nobody – The Sunday Yapper returns to the gym. Today’s Diary.
Because, of course, if you’re the only other one in the hot spring, BOOM, he has a captive audience and who knows what talking points will be introduced…It could be anything, and in no small quantity to boot: An update on his ongoing chemo would be expected, sure, but who knows what tangents he’d wander off on???…Motorcycle parts, relatives in rehab and probably even the lowdown on why he was sporting a limp this morning would all be in play…I stayed away.

The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Biden Infrastructure Plan – $2 trillion plan means well and is to be paid for, in part, by an increase in corporate taxes…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters, though, remain “pretty sure” any business tax is merely expense they pass on to us, making it another tax on us and we’re taxed enough right now.
2. Major League Baseball – Home run/strikeout festivals remain tedious, boring to watch as game now a lot closer to being niche sport than to being national pastime…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters still “pretty sure” war against evil defensive shifts can be solved with a few bunts down third-base line, but good luck getting that to happen.
3. Lauren Daigle – Single You Say remains at #1 on Billboard Hot Christian Singles chart for all-chart record 123rd non-consecutive week…Morman Tabernacle Choir – still intrigued by concept of hot, Christian songs despite failure to come with one for Easter – starting to make initial plans for dance version of Come Holy Spirit Come in time for Pentecost next month.
4. 2020 Exonerations – Nation conceived in liberty still sending people to prison for things they didn’t do…2020 saw 129 exonerees who lost 1,737 years of freedom…87 of these involved official misconduct, 30 were falsely identified and 29 had actually pled guilty…All these numbers should cause us to go stand in the corner in shame, but they don’t.
5. USA! USA! – Country such a partisan bickering mess now Georgia can’t even pass a proper Jim Crow voting law without country getting shorts in knot…Lilith Fair organizers hoping to kick start festival and get MLB All-Star Game moved to rolling meadow in Ireland after it was taken away from Atlanta.
Editor’s Note: Presidential Fact Check, which became a #5 staple during the Trump Administration, will run as needed during the Biden Administration.

Q: Is it Read Free Sunday at The Diary of a Nobody?
A: Of course it’s Read Free Sunday at The Diary of a Nobody.
The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow finds that last week’s airline crew mystery returns. Today’s Diary.
The mystery of the airline crew’s transportation to the airport – once thought to be solved – only deepened this morning…Recall last week they were all in the lobby and were heard to leave and then promptly at 0605 the driver for the taxi company shows up wondering where they are…Well, also recall Front Desk Manager Brandon said he’d heard they’d changed shuttle companies and we both figured that’s that, mystery solved.

The Diary of a Nobody/April 3
It’s Sparrow, an average man passing an average life…
Saturday, April 3
There’s a law – sort of along the lines of the Peter Principle – that states that work expands to fill available time…I am finding that to be true at the hotel because despite the fact we no longer have to deliver folios to departing rooms – not to mention the fact it’s slowing down – ol’ Sparrow is still wrapping up his duties around 0100, the same as when he was obliged to deliver folios to departing rooms.

The Diary of a Nobody – There’s a good crowd in the gym. Today’s Diary.
The big news in the gym was no less than three machines were in use when I wanted to use them…When I got there two guys were monopolizing the cable leg machines and this chick was on the Smith machine and all were in there long enuff to oblige ol’ Sparrow to find alternate exercises.
So I started at the beginning, with shoulder and bicep work and even more big news is yours truly was even stronger than he was yesterday when he upped weight on both exercises and got eight reps in…Today, 30 lbs on the shoulder side lateral raise was moved ten times and 40 lbs on the bicep hammer curl was moved nine times, both good numbers indicating we have a new base workout.

The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow is obliged to put some work in for dinner. Today’s Diary.
So ol’ Sparrow was obliged to actually cook the chicken in a pan and soak the sauce packets in hot water before combining the two…Twelve minutes I’ll never get back as starvation sets in…It turned out great tho…Tho the box peddled some nonsense about it serving three, they must have been referring to three spinsters on diets, because there was barely enuff for a growing boy like me.
