My routine when directing Virtual Club games is to make the usual informative last-round messages (20 minutes for serious adjustment requests, here's the web site with all the club results and leaders, etc.), then in between 'Next Games' and 'Stay safe and healthy' I throw in a one-liner from the weird news of the week. We had some fun earlier in the week with the local hockey club's fired anthem singer (he went to a rally protesting mask wearing!), as well as breakdancing at the 2024 Olympics, and the Russian official who thought that the Sputnik V vaccine was incompatible with alcohol -- but today I hit writer's block until about halfway through when inspiration struck:

"Next games: Friday-Saturday-Sunday at 1:15pm (all open). I dreamt last night that VBC (Vancouver Bridge Centre) reopened in Spring 2021 with the vaccine a great success -- and when we unlocked the doors there was a monolith inside... :) Stay safe and healthy."
ACBL TD--got my start in 2002 directing games at BBO!
Please come back to the live game; I directed enough online during COVID for several lifetimes.
