Lockdown Capers - Pistacchi, John R.

. .

Résumé :
John and Martha, in their seventies and about to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary, find themselves in a state-mandated COVID-19 lockdown, requiring them to be together 24/7. John chronicles this adventure through the lens of observational humor. As the couple navigates this strange new world of masks, sanitizers, and flour hoarding, nothing is off-limits: from new protocols, to their love/hate relationship with Amazon, to John's paranoia about dangerous (and possibly imaginary) squirrels, or his foolproof money-saving scheme. John even finds humor in his fight against Parkinson's and weight gain via his diet and exercise program as well as his Daily Rock Steady Zoom boxing sessions under his fighting name, FAST JOHNNY.

Biographie:
After 30 years running a successful Silicon Valley computer services firm, John Pistacchi, and his partner in Crime (spouse) Martha, sold the business and retired to San Diego. This is when John returned to an old hobby, publishing. His first endeavors involved freelance articles for Reader's Digest and the American Airline's in-flight magazine. During this time, John also published a video series on fishing various areas of California. The COVID lockdown gave John the time to get serious and put his wicked sense of humor to broader use. This endeavor resulted in the successful launch of his first book Lockdown Capers chronicling John and Martha's hilarious adaptation to evolving lockdown related circumstances. The book at one point reached the top 100 best sellers on Amazon in the category of marriage humor. This encouraged John to write a sequel covering the period immediately following the lockdown.
