1. Unable to recover from the loss of income during the
Covid-related shutdown, the Chuck E. Cheese pizza-and-arcade chain has declared
bankruptcy, but is hoping to restructure and stay in business. *** Closure off the 266 locations would be
devastating news for millions of kids, and for companies that sell ear plugs.
2. In a recent podcast interview, Miley Cyrus announced that she
has been sober for the past six months, and says the best part of sobriety is “waking
up 100%” every morning and feeling great. ***
She also revealed that she’s writing a song about waking up after a
night of heavy drinking. It’s called “Achy Breaky Head.”
3. A representative for Heather Locklear has confirmed that the
58-year-old actress is engaged to Chris Heisser, her “high school sweetheart.” *** Unfortunately, because of Covid-related event
cancelations, they won’t be able to combine the wedding ceremony with his
graduation party.
4. This past weekend the director of the Harvard Global Health
Institute, Ashish Jha, warned that Covid-related precautions and restrictions
may be needed for 12 more months. *** Of course, this “new
normal” also means new opportunities. For example, U-Haul will be applying its
truck-rental business model to a new subsidiary that will rent out Covid
related medical equipment and supplies. It’s called “U-Heal.”
5. Last week, world-famous 100-year-old tortoise “Diego” – of
the species Chelonoidis hoodensis -- returned
to his native Galapagos archipelago. Fifty years ago, Diego was moved from the
San Diego Zoo to nearby Santa Cruz Island for a special breeding program in
which he saved his species from extinction by siring over 800 offspring. *** And yet…yesterday…(sniffle)…not
a single card.
