That is a perfect summation. He was a bully who lost.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Everyone expected the previous administration's vaccine rollout plan to be a self-sabotaging mess at best or at worst a clumsily obvious attempt to extort something from the individual states; I'm not sure how many people expected it to just not exist at all. I definitely didn't.
I 100% expected it to not exist, or at most, to exist in the form of a note scribbled on a post-it in Sharpie just saying "Jared, do vaccines?"

I'm scrolling thourgh CNN's pictures from yesterday and the caption "Lady Gaga sings the National Anthem in front of Vice President Mike Pence" is just cracking me up. I think I'm still a little giddy

Too bad it wouldn't have been tasteful for the overall event for her to utilize go go boy backup dancers and have them gyrate at Pence through the whole song.

I forced myself to get up early and get more allergy meds. Tater tots are in the oven as my potato reward, but I'm also eating a salad because I want to convince the cornered animal that is my body to unclench. And apparently my reasoning is, "Would someone in a crisis stop to make a salad?" *slaps salad bowl* "This bad boy can fit so many vegetables in it."

Our wings are not tired.
Quiet day.
Good/Bad new on the basketball front. DH had already opted out of coaching this year and was only videotaping the games for upload to MaxPreps and statistical analysis. Games have been dropped left and right from other schools being quarantined. Now his school is under quarantine because the head coach's son is positive. Coach has like 5 kids, plus all the team, etc. Yeah, and one of the other school coaches came up top to talk to DH last game and was giving him a hard time about his distancing and mask 'paranoia'. Yeah, then today they all get the email with all caps, wear your masks. Grumble. Anyway, the good news is probably done for the season now as I wouldn't be surprised if they canceled the playoff and championship series too. Bad news is who knows how many vulnerable people have been exposed, and I do feel bad for the seniors who will have a harder time getting scholarships.

My co-worker who had secondary exposure to COVID19 tested negative and was back in the lab today.

Holy wow, I just realized I can start listening to the news again! And by “news” I mean Wait Wait and Last Week Tonight, I won’t hear actual news unless I drive somewhere, but that’s more than I’ve been able to bear for a while
