The Idiot — who was executive chef, sous chef and pastry chef for his 100.58-year-old mother during the pandemic lockdown in Redding, California — went shopping once a week and, at her instruction, chose only non-organic ingredients to prepare dozens of meals.
A slideshow that The Idiot is preparing for a post-pandemic sociology lecture reveals some of the “old normal” mannerisms he took for granted before social distancing, isolation and the ravages of the pandemic prohibited up close and personal contact throughout the world.
The Idiot, always a fan of exotic masquerade parties, is thrilled by the magical and mystical impact of wearing masks at every opportunity during the ongoing pandemic. And he’s equally excited by the increased import and contrasting impact of illuminating examples of purity and innocence.
The Idiot, while undertaking his daily 7-14 mile solo walks during the pandemic lockdown in northern California, had some other worldly hallucinations, visions and actions during the past week.
The Idiot has been taking state-approved 7-14 mile daily solo hikes during the lockdown in rural Redding, California, to help maintain his physical, spiritual, mental and emotional condition. He hasn’t hiked this consistently, in fact, since he went on long outings during his twenty-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea from 1998-2018.
The Idiot is looking forward to completing his Zennily slow 660-kilometer walk around Paris on the GR1 long-distance hiking path in 2026.
