The quarters something old is remarkably new again.

Carl Rocca pieces altogether tired of staring at your phone all day will break out that jigsaw puzzle you never thought you'd get to families everywhere, or reconnecting over jigsaw puzzles. But why would families willingly do this when there are so many other home entertainment Jerry something very few people can walk by your puzzle will not put in the priesthood so obvious what you try to do the goals absolutely right there putting it together later on Sunday morning.

Jim Gaffigan updates us on how his family is doing plus tips on booking TV binges for the homebound and with most of the headlines dealing with the coronavirus will start with getting an update from our docudrama poop Sunday morning for 29 March 2020 first things first. We been seeing a warming. New numbers of coronavirus cases this past week and we've been learning more about the virus itself. We start by checking in with our docudrama poop good morning I hope you're all holding up as well as possible. During this pandemic of coded 19 I want to talk to you today about something that's been on my mind. I think it's very important, but is not getting enough attention with testing I'm not talking about the nasal throat swab that looks for evidence of active infection.

I'm talking about something totally different. It's called a serology or antibody test is a simple blood test that looks for evidence of past infection that why is that so important. Well, it's very likely that a lot of us have already been infected with coded 19 virus the coronavirus without even realizing it. We had few symptoms.

We had no symptoms and the reason why that's so important is that if we've already been infected and the likelihood is we have immunity were protected from further infection at least for a few years. If this is acting like other viruses have in the past. Well, those are people who could potentially go back to the front lines to the workforce were talking right now, but this friction between saving the economy treating coded 19 well we should be able to get our arms around both technically this is not hard to do. It's very similar to the kind of test that's done all the time looking for immunity to things like measles, mumps and rubella. We have to want to do it we have to want to do it now. That means cutting red tape adequately funding it basically prioritizing is not only important for figuring out who among us is adequately protected can go back to work. Don't we all want to know if we've already been infected and just go about our daily lives.

Not only that it's good to give us a better idea of community spread, how widely the coronavirus spread throughout the country. Finally, I know this is a very rough time. Our lives have been turned upside down and it's taxing every which way physically, economically, emotionally, and I'm not trying to sugarcoat this, but remember that about 80% of the time people have relatively mild cases and I know I've said this before, but I've got a repeat again this is good to have a beginning, middle and and we are going to get through this I promise you get through it together working from home may have sounded pretty appealing.

First but there's a technique to it that not everyone can master except possibly David Pogue who has a few tips testing 123 okay well welcome to lockdown like anyone else who's got the luxury of working at home. I've been working at home when I got a call from my producer David Rothman.

As I recall the conversation went something like this. How are you I am well David Rothman you have a good idea for a story idea is what are the rules for working in living at home and you know what I should do. I should film the entire thing by myself without a crew where the shot. So there you how to live and work at home without losing your mind. First of all curse that virus but blessed high-speed Internet. The Internet is our lifeline through this thing is how we socialize. It's our entertainment is how business gets done. This is the Internet's big moment what's going on over video chat meetings, but also exercise class at church services, how we pray for those who are dealing with physical illness. Game night and even weddings course concerts down life, learn to use Zoom. That is a lot of great video chatting programs out there.

There's Skype, FaceTime Google hangouts.

Zoom is sort of the hero. The coronavirus era because it's free. The pictures very stable.

It's easy to use. It can handle a lot of people in the meeting at once, you little tutorial to get a free account you visit the website Zoom .us supply your email address, then whenever you want to start a video chat you click host a meeting with video on click invite click copy invitation and then send that link to your co-conspirators. All they have to do is click that link and they show up on your screen like this you might recognize a few of these characters who have never before appeared on your screen simultaneously.

There's a little lesson on how to you soon and you all that I wasn't going to say it but yet I invited the entire cast of CBS Sunday morning to join me for little social distancing over video chat, Brussels sprouts and robe Robbie Keller and here's a tip for all those video calls you want the source of light in front of you observe window beside me. I look fine window behind me in the witness protection program.

Those video meetings are good example of rule number two it's really important to keep in good social contact. Reason social connectivity.

I'm on a Zoom call with some hotkeys. She's a neuropsychologist at Columbia University, FaceTime a phone call that you need to check in about all the time and date will there's a rule number three kids and pets are now officially allowed at work are you to get. Which brings us to rule number four. Stick to a routine. It's a lot easier to get in the mood for being productive. If you stick to a schedule. Some people find it useful to get dressed up for work even if you're not going to see anybody all day and when work is over. Just because you can't go out to the movies doesn't mean you can't watch movies together@netflixparty.com you can install a plug-in feature into the chrome web browser that lets you watch movies simultaneously with your friends.

All of the making your snarky comments and panel on the side. Finally, rule number five is called social distancing, not house arrest you're allowed to go outside and you should take walks with people who live with you. Keep clear of other people. Of course, but try to get out there every day. You can even have small gatherings in person as long as you keep that distance. I know some local kids who all got sent home by the colleges so they hang out in the parking lot of their old understand my local library and neighbors me each evening in their apartment. Doorways for what they call cocktails in the foyer it social distancing, with an emphasis on social eventually life will get back to normal. But in the meantime, some Hafiz says there's room for more than one emotion. Thanks so many people who know what the rules for staying sane at home aren't so hard to follow rely on the Internet.

Stay social stick to a routine, take walks, life goes on. Just have to go at it a little differently. There was a time in the not-too-distant past when handwashing even for doctors wasn't considered part of basic hygiene really.

That is until one man sounded the alarm. You really have to hand it to non-similar lines 19 century Hungarian.because it was some of ice determined after studying maternity ward deaths was handwashing my doctors could make the difference between life and death are from welcoming is in psycho fellow doctors actually rejected in some of ice went on to die in an insane substance.

Everything devoted himself to find later generations came to recognize the truth of his every course the need for thorough handwashing is never been more important.

Told that we should scrub her hands for Lee's 22nd.

As you probably heard that is roughly the time it takes to sing happy birthday from beginning to end twice become such a big thing now that this music from Vietnam become something of an international Internet sensation so so we know death and taxes are certain you may not know, though, so is the U.S. Census Constitution tells us to count ourselves every 10 years. What is to bring tells us: 19 makes that infinitely more difficult this is.

Took silk Bay, Alaska on the Bering Sea about as far away from it all. As you can get and still be in the United States, and this is Stephen Billingham, director of the U.S. Census Bureau flew in on a frigid January day to count the very first person in our nation's 2020 census constitutionally mandated once a decade count every single person within our borders, 26, has begun. It was very emotional to me.

The entire village had gathered. They were playing native music they were celebrating the 2020 census and I just hope we can replicate that across the nation. It seems Stephen Billingham is not alone in his passion for the census in February we traveled to Houston Texas where activists went door-to-door to make sure their communities will be fully counted, very happy to see. Yes some people don't even open the door.

The light and dark. He says many people have no idea how important the censuses.

Not only does it determine how many votes each state gets in Congress but also help trillions of federal dollars will be divvied up over the next decade. They need to know the benefits you know the school lunch is the road construction on the parks that healthcare where does the census rank on your list of priorities and it's a long list pretty much near the very top judge Lena Hidalgo is the executive of Harris County, the largest county in Texas which includes Houston, the nation's most diverse big city. Every person who doesn't respond to the census we lose around $1000.

Hidalgo says in the 2010 census. Latinos, especially immigrants were significantly undercounted. One of the biggest challenges in 2020. She says is fear. You know there was a fight about whether the census would include a citizenship question. Some folks who are seeing on TV and families being torn apart, who perhaps know somebody has been deported are now afraid that the census is going to ask them whether or not US citizens. Last year, the US Supreme Court rejected a trump administration proposal for the census to demand everyone's citizenship status, but Hidalgo says the damage is already done. The communities heard so much about it that were now having to debunk the myth that it is part of the census, you might be surprised by just how long the idea of the census has been around the census comes up again and again, the Old Testament and the new history of the census author Andrew Whitley cites the example of Exodus when Moses ordered account of all males age 20 and older census plays a major role in the New Testament who Mary and Joseph were from Nazareth in the north. But Jesus was born in Bethlehem about 100 miles away.

Why did they go to Bethlehem, distance, or is in the Bible is that there was a Roman census called Caesar Augustus, I called a decree that a census of the entire world.

The first U.S. Census was carried out in 1790, one year after George Washington was sworn in as president in less than 100 years, the population had increased tenfold in Herman Holler if invented an electric tabulating machine to count all those people and in case you didn't know all of its 19th-century startup business became IBM. IBM yeah would be fair to say that the census is actually played a role in the invention or or development of the computer yeah I would say that I score 1 for the census and it's a good thing Holler if came along because as the late Richard Threlkeld explained on Sunday morning.

40 years ago and 89 Americans have the answer hundred 70 question, including one that wanted to know if there are any idiots in the family. Lucky for us today.

There are just nine basic questions. Yet the very simplicity and importance of the census have recently attempted politicians to disguise fundraising appeals as census forms, including these from the Republican national committee and the trunk campaign is a public treasure is our collective information and for some organization in this case the Republican national committee later Pres. Trump's campaign committee to try to hijack this nonpartisan public trust in the census for personal political gain is wrong.

California Democratic Congresswoman Katie Porter sits on the committee that oversees the Census Bureau in February, she confronted census director Stephen Billingham.

Have you asked the RNC to cease and desist from using the term 2020 census or official census in its mailings. Can't Congresswoman II would have to look and see I don't not sure who you sent that out, and you're going to hold Mr. Dillingham's feet to the fire.

100% with your political appointee or not you take on the job. The exact same thing for the Dir. of the Centers for Disease Control is the same thing for the director of the census you made a commitment to the American people. Do you feel pressure from this White House and the Republican Party to do this count in a way that they would like no I do not, and soon after our interview, the RNC promised to stop using the word census in its mailings and Facebook has dropped the trump ads the coronavirus of course poses an entirely different and unprecedented challenge. The census, the Census Bureau encourages Americans to fill out the census online in the report that close to one third of households have already responded pandemic or not. Stephen Billingham says the work of the Census Bureau is going forward.

Bottom line, your messages, respond online phone or by mail and then we won't come knocking on your absolutely and that's the message we hope it will resonate with everyone it seems like pure well everywhere these days. Except that stores are struggling to keep up with demand and that even with the company working around the clock. Keep up the stock. Hard to believe that not too long ago. No one ever heard of. I guess you could describe it as a 10 year overnight success story Mike Richardson is an industry in Fredonia held onto the idea kept pushing it actually became probably far greater success than they would've imagined that idea was pure, pretty prized possession in our desperate attempt to keep our hands virus free. It's made by go-go industries, a family-owned business record journalist talk to then CEO Joe Kemper back in 2013, my going uncle Jerry the beginning in 1946 developed a him cleaner to get grease and carbon black off of working people's hands. It was called dojo, the namesake of our company today. Uncle Jerry gave Joe Kemper, half the company when he was just in his 20s and then in the late 80s. Finally, the Eureka moment dojo perfected an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that was pretty easy on the skin, but just call I wanted to name the product class because I was so excited he worked in a flash I thought and I thought I was being quite clever and puerile pure one out but it took a while to clean up on the invention.

Dojo actually lost money on puerile years, until 2002 when the CDC determined that alcohol-based products were indeed effective in cleansing. Hey day puerile really what most families wonder what they would do without vindicating his hands with Joe catheter told us seven years ago about the virtues of having your own company. I probably would've been fired about working for anybody you eventually. The impact of the coronavirus on our economy is pretty clear. It has been another wild week of ups and downs. But despite record jobless figures. Some businesses are actually hiring workers and badly. Here's money corresponded Joe sausage, the US economy has come to a screeching halt in business my business person by person.

The damage is piling up many kindness has been a bartender in San Francisco for 10 years.

I mean you go from being busy to having nothing really and the new restaurant he planned to open it's on hold. The one thing that can keep an eye just like how do you family. Like many kindness a lot of people across the country are losing sleep.

We just learned that weekly jobless claims total 3.28 million in the most recent week measure. Can you put that in historical context for us so millions jobless claims in just one week.

That is about five times the amount that we received in any of the peak weeks around the financial crisis, or any of the deeper downturn say in the 1980s. It's an extraordinary number and a sobering one at yes and Morgan Stanley's chief US economist Alan Zentner has more sobering news. You and your associates at Morgan Stanley believe that economic output in the second quarter is going to drop by 30% from a year ago. What is the backdrop for that and how did you come to that number yes so those are really grand numbers on but it's the reality that this is unlike any other economic downturn. We've gone into companies are leading us to believe that anywhere from 75 to 90% of economic activity has been cut in important areas. You have car dealership in New Jersey saying we used to sell 45 cars a day now reselling one car facing an unprecedented crisis, the government is taking unprecedented measures. There is an enormous chill trillion dollar federal lifeline to businesses and Federal Reserve were initially rolling out plans to keep money flowing throughout the financial system might feel like a nightmare work eight of the recession that began thousand eight, but this time is actually different, very sharp drop into recession, but we don't expect this recession to be long-lived, as prior recessions because this is dictated by the abolition of the virus and our biotechnology analyst believe that the peak in cases will come somewhere in late April and thereafter as some of the social distancing measures received.

We can start to resume a normal pace of activity looks like. But even as job losses, multiply some businesses looking to hire tens of thousands of people like Dollar General, which has more than 16,000 stores across the country that now everything from basic health items, baby diapers crystal to Sammy is the spokesperson for Dollar General tell us about your plan, hire more air 50,000 new people to help support our store distribution operations. So while some of these jobs being temporary, pretty strong track record job growth. We do see some long-term career.

During this time and is Americans cocooned in their homes. Virtual businesses are finding new customers like school which offers online classes to elementary through high school age kids thousands students will thousands of dollars to see possibly since my school closures. Thousands students join clauses on the Internet to the CEO about school increased demand is 20,000 extra people were coming onto your platform you're seeking new teachers to help you out and tell us a little bit about that yes exactly causes seeking to 5000 next two weeks we will find teachers maybe have some down time teaching teaches people who maybe teaches music and also instructors economics has been called the dismal science and times right now are indeed dismal that Alan Zentner is not all doom and gloom. It's still a long slow slog back to the type of labor market prior to the coronavirus outbreak, but we will get there we will get there over time. This is intelligence matters with former acting Dir. of the CIA. Michael Morel bridge Colby is cofounder and principal of the Marathon initiative project focused on developing strategies to prepare the United States for an era of sustained great power competition states put our mind to something, we can usually figure it out what people are saying and what we can know analytically and empirically as our strategic situation motor situations not being matched up with follow. Intelligence matters where ever you get your podcasts once again this weekend were offering suggestions for filling up all those long hours at home starts off critic Hollywood report with movie theaters and public performance venues shut down countless workers and quarantine much of the population is eyeing a future spent disproportionately glued to our coaches looking for good things to watch on television. In short, for becoming a nation of TV critics as somebody who was on this bandwagon professionally long before various public officials made it mandatory would offer some advice. First, even if actual Hollywood production has ground to a halt. The crisis hit us, just as some of TV specials were launching new seasons lawns ethics, you better think is compassionate, funny and uncomfortably realistic AMCs better call Saul may not be better than breaking that are closer than anybody could have imagined.

If you like twisty somewhat confusing mythology mixed with lots of robots so complicated, so if you want to watch right there. This is also the perfect moment for rainy day shows those ambitious or long-running TV series you've been putting off until you could give them the concentration they deserve might include Netflix's PQ blinders and found if you haven't washed all-time classics like the water left over to rectify. No more excuses seeking something funny in emotional price reforms. Unusual family comedy everything to be okay cool choices too long and be the perfect moment for Parks and Recreation, the most hopeful show ever made about government interrupting something important and possible I will travel HBO's my brilliant friend adapted from Alina Freddie's novels is like a passport to Italy from a different era were check out Hulu's underrated coming Romney which wrapped its first season with two great episodes in Egypt and if you're exhausted by your family catch up on HBO succession, a reminder that no matter how breezy your relatives are making you could always be much business. All told, hours and hours of television that should offer you something we all could use right now.

Distraction from the outside world. What does true leadership look like during a national crisis.

Martha Teicher has been searching for answers has become on the air tonight. The number of coronavirus cases in the United States is growing exponentially.

It's a different kind of reality TV for a change. It's usually real. Nowhere has been harder hit than right here in the New York Metro area must see viewing the homebound nation. This is going to be one of those moments that are going to write about going to talk about for generations, Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York.

What am I going to do with 400 ventilators when I need 30,000 you pick the 26,000 people who will die without naming the president bagging cajoling, goading the federal government to take action if someone is unhappy somebody was to blame someone for complaining about someone I don't take responsibility all and there is president Donald Trump with another take on responsibility and reality. I would love to have the country opened up and there is raring to go by Easter. The other major player in this drama of dueling daily briefings. Dr. Anthony G from the National Institutes of Health trusted scientist setting the record straight. Obviously no one is toned down things you see this going on in a place like me, that's just no good public health practice and common sense when 5G is standing next to the president a concerned public wonders why all of which begs the question what does leadership look like in this time of crisis governor Larry Hogan, Maryland would argue leadership looks like the nation's governors far out in front of the feds in response to covert 19 United in their bipartisan push to get what they need, a Monmouth University poll released last week found that 72% of Americans think the governor is doing a good job managing coronavirus compared to 50% think the president is what is essential and nonessential is essentially what you think it is where learning governors names as their state struggle. Cuomo of New York Ensley of Washington the wine of Ohio. Witmer, Michigan Hogan popular Republican in an over roaming the Democratic state is also chairman of the national Governors Association. We spoke outdoors at a distance in Annapolis Maryland capital. I think this is been a time. Governors really have left we been on the frontlines and we stepped up to make those tough decisions, but in an governors on both sides of the aisle, but also push for more action from the federal level and why did you feel that that was necessary because lots were at stake because our citizens knew this to is there any precedent for governors taking the lead.

Yes, I think about FDR and that situation and the depression before he became president is the governor of New York historian Doris Kearns Goodwin's latest book is leadership in turbulent times published by Simon & Schuster part of Viacom, CBS, and New York State was overwhelmed by the depression so he started taking action on his own.

The first person in the nation as a governor to mobilize a comprehensive relief program.

Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt filled the power vacuum left by Pres. Herbert Hoover in the aftermath of the stock market crash in 1929, Hoover opposed federal intervention. He left to the states and local governments to cope as the US economy collapsed and the unemployment rate approach 25%. FDR was elected president in 1932 promising to take charge back from his inauguration. He said the reason we have a problem now was a failure of leadership. I've been elected president's gift to me and I'm assuming that responsibility be given to me by phone.

All of the major leaders that are the three historic leaders in our country's history, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and FDR faced a crisis and I handled it really well. A crisis is a moment when the nation needs you.

How does this crisis. Stack up against World War II, the depression, so is this truly presidency defining crisis. There is no question that this is a defining crisis for our generation in my judgment and as a result of it being a defining time for our generation is going to be a defining time for the president. History will will only know as time goes by and depends on how it all turns out. Obviously for how history will define the presence leadership and how every other leader is judged as well where we are today you will be in three weeks or four weeks. We are your future.

We have to get back to work. People want to work, go back to go back. Who's right, the president, or public health officials who say it's too soon.

When that document with what result do you measure 96 measures zero and when the Senate passed the trillion dollar rescue package unanimously. Not a single senator voted to trillion dollar rescue bill was that a glimmer of hope that avirulent disease had neutralized the virulent partisanship it's paralyzed Washington for so long was it leadership or a temporary truce its early days still history's judgment premature in the meantime history can remind us how other Americans felt as they were living through earlier crises, they don't know this can turn out all right.

They have to have faith, and one thing that history can do is to show you that somehow this country has lived through these tough times before, and we've gotten through it and I think it gives us that perspective and that solace to make us feel not alone with Broadway darkened for the duration stricken with Jane Pauley recently spent time with two of its biggest stars, thankfully, wasn't all that long ago. It seems that my conversation with Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick dates back to another era and the way it does. Walking through a crowded part right here just three weeks ago, before there was no place back home after Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick showed off one of their favorite spots like the park holds 30 years of memories for this longtime couple always newfangled building shared memories. They don't often share just carrying a mattress that my friend John. That was the beginning of a long relationship, but a pretty short story how quickly did you know the complicated your answer to the question first. Sorry lately they're spending even more time together again. Laundry along with other artists recently joined Rosie O'Donnell for a lifestream benefit for the actors Parker and Brodrick were set to costar in a revival of Neil Simon's Plaza suite, but the very day they were to begin performances theaters were shut down to slow the spread of covert, 19 Plaza suite is one of the few new shows still expected to open some day just last month the stars were playing to sold-out houses in Boston and getting set to bring the play to Broadway and of course the plastic for the first time since its run more than 50 years ago 07 1919. It's also the first time Brodrick and Parker have acted together since they were married 23 years ago.

Basically come to the conclusion without ever having said that, we will never really worked. Yeah every now and then somebody would say you should do something together and would say what they say.

I'm her own reason for hesitating actually when I felt was, oh God no, really, because you know each other in such a different way.

But I think it is been incredibly nice talking audiences have been delighted the very beginning.

As soon as Ms. Parker was revealed and help with the insured by that in this comedy about marriage.

They appear as three different couples check into the same Plaza suite simple question. Act I and Sam are celebrating an awkward wedding anniversary to Jesse Hollywood producer hoping for sparks with his high school flame. Muriel that character is the most fun for you. Really nice of finally Norma and Roy, parents of the bride got cold feet.

They are moments away from their daughter, who has locked herself in the bathroom.

Of course it's a challenge characters multiple times in one night. Brodrick are experienced actors, each with decades on stage and screen fans based know him best from Ferris Bueller's day off. I like it 80% as much as they and of course she's most famous is the iconic Terry Bradshaw on sex and the city what Terry Bradshaw David Ferris Bueller Carrie Bradshaw one is DC and the others.

Marvel not only knows comic books. He's a devoted baseball fan and so is she, too many kids had a dream. We were then and to make so many children delete part time we had a dream for all that baseball stadiums changed. We were getting hit every single one of the country. Many of them either. There's children. He that we know what share they have two girls 10-year-old twins 17-year-old son actors and all of them, which is absolute surprise that she did clarify that the other day and said she wants to get her degree in education because she really wants to be a teacher that's a finding that idea and then you can always go to acting school from the conversations of the that she and yet I think you could certainly they both started, Jan 13, she was 17. He made his stage debut alongside his dad. The late actor James Brodrick was her song in 1995 how to succeed in business without really trying.

It was the only time they never worked together before Plaza suite Brodrick would be the manager sing out to potty great chemistry both on stage and off more time together last month we spent since we were courting really fairly was I just doing watching yourself like a hawk while they are still seeing a lot of each other. Audiences will have to wait to see them live on stage but homebound fan quality time with some old friends feels lucky, so prevalent because many great sort of success that you think that there are deserving of. If you're not cognizant of that all the time. You're a fool and in great grateful in conversation with Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick.

I hope you're all doing well and I'll be seeing you again Sunday morning. How best to spend those long, long hours of isolation at home about the puzzling pastime that will rock is been pursue last year when I purchased this piece jigsaw puzzle of 1933 Diego Rivera mural. I expect to get to it until I was no 80 well. Things changed. I'm not the only one all across the country, people are pulling out their puzzles to pass the time.

In fact, the very first jigsaw puzzle. He is said to have been made by a London mapmaker in the 1760s.

His name was John's Pillsbury and Williams is a jigsaw puzzle historian pasted a map onto thin piece of wood, and he used a scroll saw to cut it up would be one piece. Germany would be another piece you marketed these two very affluent and influential people as a tool to teach their children geography and I gotta say jigsaw puzzles.

A great way to learn geography. Oh, absolutely. I think just about everybody spent some time in their childhood putting a map of the United States together soon. Puzzles expand their reach beyond learning nursery fairytale subjects ships and trains early in the 20th century gaming company Parker Brothers came up with the idea of interlocking pieces, each one cut by hand mostly says Williams by women. Parker Brothers claimed the hired women because they already knew so sewing machine looked very much like a triple scroll saw easy to train and I did mention that they could pay the women a lot less during the Great Depression popularity of jigsaw puzzles crossword drawn jigsaw 30 million household states were absorbing 10 million jigsaw puzzles every week. Puzzles were entertainment and employment. There were so many people out of work could buy a scroll saw jigsaw for $20 set up the saw kitchen, basement started making jigsaw puzzles selling them to their neighbors or renting them out through the local drugstore rose and Mark Stevens of peacetime puzzles and Northwood New Hampshire have been making selling puzzles for 25 years go through spells sometimes lauded for you multiple fall lighthouses will people collect lighthouses that will what are some of the recent crisis birds College of Baltimore owls, but the bulk of their business comes from personalized puzzles. You upload your picture of your dog to the website roles go to Lowe's about printed out on the large format printers that I mounted on cardboard diecut packages they've been privy to.

Moments both poignant and puzzling. We got a wedding picture by one of the person taken out of the picture. I thought that was the story I got my own stories are about to do it to create sounds like I am not being cute here. Sounds like you guys are kind of an essential business this for us runs out of puzzles and they'll tell you it's confirming that we have three puzzles left we get the time that they come in they look all distraught almost out of puzzles.
