Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Corona Light? (February 2020)

Our last Mexican vacation was in late Feb/early March of 2020 just as Covid was breaking worldwide.  I spent much of our week taking pictures of Corona beer cans thinking I was clever…

So You’ve Had Covid…

I’ve probably been overly obsessive about reading and rEsEaRcHiNg about Covid ever since the pandemic began – all aspects from the science of it to the economic and political implications to the occasional conspiracy theory (well, blitzed with them every time I open a social media site!) Now that I’ve finally had Covid, a lot […]

Music Monday – “You’d say I’m putting you on/But it’s no joke/It’s doing me harm/You know I can’t sleep/I can’t stop my brain/You know it’s three weeks/I’m going insane You know I’d give you everything I’ve got for a little peace of mind”

Covid Tweets Roundup

[Caveat: I post tweets that catch my eye but am not asserting that the claims they make are factual or not.  You should probably be skeptical of everything you read on the Internet, check who it is posting (a named doctor or an anonymous account), etc.] Pointing out a contraction of anti-mask “logic”… This year […]

Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]

A 41 Year Old Addict Says Good-Bye (And Shares His Observations and Regrets)

The amount of stress I’m seeing in the world right now is overwhelming. People I know from Ukraine and Iran worried about home.  People navigating our Covid-filled world whether they’ve never tested positive or tested positive multiple times.  Parents trying to find needed badly needed medicine for their kids while teachers face half empty classrooms.  […]
