Pandemurricanesneauxstorm Shopping - The Unstrung Marionette

Racing through the grocery store, preparing for the latest impending – pandemic – hurricane force winds – snowstorm disaster, the Unstrung Marionette suddenly realizes his idea of necessity might be different from those listed on the nightly news. Bottled water, Lysol, and toilet paper are well and good, but to thrive in a power outage – snowed in – quarantine - his survival kit is going to need a few more essentials like coffee, LOTS of coffee and sugar, cheese, fruit, chocolate, TEQUILA, and plenty of champagne! Marion Etoile, the Unstrung Marionette, wants to be footloose and fancy-free, no strings attached, so in a case of “be careful what you ask for” we follow his adventures as he tries to keep it all together. Louisiana, and I, tend to celebrate, well, everything. Maybe I should have titled this “Pandemurricanesneauxstorm Party?”
