Recently
I had the opportunity to travel outside my state and see that there are some
similarities and some differences now-a-days.
I have noticed that businesses are more respectful to you when you
approach their counter while donning a face cover.
Alcohol is being purchased more during the week instead of just on the
weekends. Could it be because people are
home more and tired of being cooped up in their homes? Hopefully it’s not because of being around
the same people. Get use to it! You
married them and/or you created them. You
might want to virally chat respectfully with others (don’t start questionable
“chat rooms” like there use to be in AOL), learn a new hobby or pastime with
your family, work in separate rooms if possible, exercise from a video or just
take a walk. Masks are NOT required in
your home or in the open air (backyards, meals of 10 or less [I say 2]).
I’ve always used Lysol spray or wipes to disinfect surfaces on airplanes and
hotel rooms (television remote, hotel phone, and anything that you think that
housekeeping might have omitted), and even now more than ever. Needless to say,
I’m not going to clean the room behind a housekeeper (that’s what the front
desk or a report to corporate is for), but I will safeguard me and mine on the
front side.
As you can see in the video, hotel breakfasts are a little different too (this
meal was good). No establishment wants
to be sued because you caught Coronavirus from being in their place of eating,
worshiping, grooming, purchasing, or whatever
For those offended by the phrase “New Normal”, let’s call this pandemic
experience #NewAbnormal 🤔😲😷 🧼. It’s time
to get
off your high horse. It’s a realm of new beginnings. You must adhere to change in order to stay
alive and/or not to infect others with a virus.
Some may not have been around when measles, chickenpox and polio was rampant
in our society years ago; we were use to quarantining. Those old enough may have experienced
something like this years ago. There
have been Outbreaks, Plagues and other Viruses in the history of time. We are almost at that point again.
Those who are young and figure that “This will NEVER happen to me”, may want to
reconsider the possibilities. Don’t
gamble on your health, life; or the health and lives of others. And also, it wouldn’t hurt for our children to
donn masks in order to protect them from COVID-19 or the new Kawasaki disease.

“I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in
all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and
to suffer need.” Philippians 4:12 KJV.
Just like those on Social Media, people are going to have their differences. It once was the Hatfields against the McCoys,
Protestants against Catholics, Jews against Gentiles, Democratic against
Republicans; and now it’s those who want to Wear Masks 😷 and those who Don’t Want to be Told What to Do 😼. No matter
where you stand, it’s always a way to voice your opinion without getting nasty,
uncaring and disrespectful to others.
Sure we must go back to living our lives, nonetheless, COVID-19 is real and you
don’t want someone you know and/or love to convince you that it’s NOT a joke. And one last thing: please stop disposing of
your masks and gloves in parking lots or shopping carts; that’s just nasty. It’s like seeing a used needle or prophylactic
on the side of the road. Stay safe and
think of others.
The Alhambra Theatre & Dining is now open for dinner in the theater on select days and lunch on
Sunday! Here is how it works: When you
are ready to make your reservation, call the box office. When booking, they will take your desired
arrival time and entrée selection. Upon
arrival, you will check-in at the podium and they will seat you safely at a
distance from other parties – much like a restaurant. Their service staff will then serve you a
delicious three-course meal specially prepared by Chef DeJuan and their kitchen
staff!
On behalf of everyone at the theater – the front office and box office staff, the
culinary and service staff, and the production staff – the Alhambra wants to
thank you SO MUCH for the opportunity to keep their 53-year institution going
during this time. They are so grateful
for the opportunity to serve you once again.
To ensure your safety, seating is very limited and reservations may only
be made through the Box Office. Call (904)
641-1212 to make your reservations today!
