MURRAY THE CORGI RETIRES TO FLORIDA


By JOHN MICHELMAN




PART ONE:  CORGI DAY DREAMS
PART TWO:  RETURN TO THE CONDO
PART THREE:  FIND THE VACCINE


PART ONE:  CORGI DAY DREAMS

Murray the Corgi retires to Florida.  Sitting comfortably by the shady pool,
he wonders what will he do next?  Could do this?  Should do that?  Lazy in
the heavy heat, he daydreams of exercise in the gym and training the other
condo dogs.  Limits dissolve and thoughts ascend with the birds.  Everything
is possible.  His mind’s eye sees newly gentle gators and hard hat construction
corgis working together to install solar panels.  Now a tiny bit of global warming
has been slowed.  Yet Murray has never left his chair.




"Now What Should I do?" Thought Murray





He could boss all the other Dogs Around.



Fly over the lake with the birds?


Work out at the gym?



Plant flowers?



Florida gators can be enemies. They hide in the water when they hunt. But maybe the condo dogs and gators could work together to fight global warming.



This is a very hard plan but Murray can daydream about working with the gators.




Put up solar panels toether?



All friends go fishing?



Be creative?  Join the Art Club?




PART TWO: RETURN TO THE CONDO



All this thinking and planning has exhausted Murray's brain. He leaves the pool and returns to his air conditioned condo. Cool air, food, water, rest and a view of the lake.



Why sweat in the blazing summer sun and humid heat when the condo is so nice?



Indoor life.




Falling asleep in the moonlight, Murray wonders what he will
do tomorrow?  Better check that doctor’s appointment. 
Sit by the pool again and let his mind drift?  He did have
some really good retirement ideas.  Won’t tomorrow morning
be a good time to start some action?


PART THREE:  FIND THE VACCINE



All has changed.  Now it is clear what Murray the Corgi must do. 
February, 2020 saw the Pandemic Virus spread over our world.
Murray wears a mask, keeps social distance, and is working
hard to find the protective vaccine.
