Our wings are not tired.

I didn't stay at the show long, partly because of the heat, but also the number of people and the absurd lack of masks. I wrote to the show organizers and the Palm Beach Post about the situation. Of course the website for the show insists all the precautions are required because they care about the health of staff, attendees, and so forth. Grrr. I'd say the overwhelming majority of people there were under 60 and probably not yet vaccinated. This is why we are looking at a possible 4th wave. People coming to Florida for Spring Break and bring disease back home.

No salt! Yeah, I couldn't last long without finding it either.

I’m pretty tired of thinking about plagues but if someone wants to draw analogies between the parting of the Red Sea and the Ever Given I am here for that.

My seder guest yesterday commented on how you can now technically cross on foot the Red Sea without a divine intervention.

Hil, lots of ~ma to your aunt, you, and your family.

Gris, so much ~ma. It's difficult.

That thought occurred to me too!

Thank you for indulging me, Shir

It’s weird that you have to think strategically about Good Stuff, Jesse, but I’m glad you are on top of it.

2 days after my 2nd Pfizer dose and I am feeling about 95% human again. Yesterday I mostly lay in bed trying not to move my head more than absolutely necessary to take very small sips of tea and water. (Instead of 4 glasses of wine with Seder I drank most of 1 glass of water. Why on this night was I reclining on pillows? Because sitting up straight hurt too much. Blah blah plague ironycakes.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My aunt died this morning. Funeral is probably Tuesday, and I probably can't get to Boston by then, because I'm still not vaccinated and don't want to risk getting on a plane.

Hil, I am so sorry. My condolences to you and your family.

In a separate post: the Zoom in Remembrance of Amyth will start in about 30 minutes. Details in my profile. All are welcomed to join.

I'm sorry, Hil. Wishes of peace and comfort for you and yours.

What is even happening?

Hil, I am so sorry. Boston is not a good place to be, right now. Our COVID rates are on the rise. This week we have 32 cities/towns at high risk. Last week it was 20. The week before it was 14. Meanwhile, our Republican governor has dropped the travel restrictions to a travel advisory.

Ask and the internets shall provide

I love that.

I'm sorry you were feeling so bad after the vaccine. I'm glad it's almost gone.

My 20 y.o. didn't have the side effects we expected from his second shot. Because he's on immunosuppressants (and in fact had an infusion two days after his second Pfizer shot), I'm not exactly worried -- I just would have liked it better if he felt even a smidgen warm to the touch. He did report feeling achy though.
