- Last week I started to read a Barack Obama interview. I admire Obama, and I am interested in what he has to say, but I couldn’t get past the first few paragraphs. The problem for me is that Obama is such a decent human being–even after the terrible way he was (and still is) treated by some Americans–that the contrast between him and certain other politicians is painful. I can’t stand to be reminded of it.
- I signed Marshall up to get his Covid vaccine in a few weeks. I can’t believe he’s almost 12! He probably won’t be thrilled with the idea of getting another shot in the arm (he just had a bunch of them at his last check-up), but I know he’ll be happy to get his Covid immunity.
- I went from having barely left the house in over a year to being out and about most of the day last Monday. The world seemed, at least on the surface, pretty much as I had left it, though one of my favorite restaurants had gone away (sadly, another loss in a year of many losses). But I got to see my best friend again, and though we couldn’t have lunch at our usual place, we had a good day. It was wonderful to see her again.
