I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Glad to hear from you, Nilly and Shir. My thoughts are with you; I only wish it was for more general well-wishing and not the current situation.

I spent most of yesterday raking leaves and it brought home that I am OLD in a way that the recent visit to the cardiologist and assorted echocardiograms and EKGs hadn't. I did eventually manage to get my whole front yard to an acceptable level of lawn showing, but I can remember baleing hay as a kid and it doesn't seem like something as lightweight as leaves should wear me out as much as it did.

Our wings are not tired.

My cousin and girlfriend are visiting from Ohio, and they are enjoying the beach and sunshine very much. We are avoiding the news except for brief updates to keep the feelings of hopelessness at bay. Friday, we are going on a 3-day cruise and are seriously considering not purchasing internet to take a media break.

eta: Am I the only one to get an earworm from a 3-day cruise converted to a 3-hour cruise?
