Our wings are not tired.

Checks to see if I can pick up Theo's signal on the dandy receiver I got from my good friend Bill Gates.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday msbelle!

One of my co-workers has had secondary exposure to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, so he's self-quaranteeing.

In other news, I got the e-mail at work telling me I can get the vaccine. I made an appointment for Tuesday. We're using the Moderna vaccine here.

My shoulder where I got the injection is sore, but no other symptoms (or super powers) have emerged as of yet.

Keep up the good work.

I just looked up a countdown timer and can report back that it is 90 hours and 39 minutes and change until the Inauguration.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Probably cheaper at CVS. Will you have time to charge it at the airport?

Are the headphones noise-cancelling? I have found that to make a big difference in reducing travel fatigue.

My phone will be fully charged before leaving and likely on the plane, extra battery would be for while in the parks at Disney.

Not sure if they are noise canceling or not, but I have a white noise app on phone if needed.
