Your Moment Of Zen: How 72-Year-Old Arnold Schwarzenegger Is Coping In Isolation
Here's how one famous senior citizen is keeping it all in perspective.
After a day of non-stop closure news, from the state, county and city, Arnold Schwarnenegger leaned back with a vegan meal and some thoughts. He seemed take in stride the news that people in his age group are being advised by our current governor not to go out anymore.
As our former governor tells his furry friends:
"We stay home."
But we also welcomed the chance to be entertained for one minute and 40 seconds.
Stay at home as much as possible. Listen to the experts, ignore the morons (foreheads). We will get through this together. pic.twitter.com/FRg41QehuB
