Guess we are getting old


Barry and I have long been fans of humorist David Sedaris. He has written many amusing and insightful books, and he periodically shares short essays on “CBS Sunday Morning.” His contribution to this morning’s show really resonated for us “old folks.” Please take a couple of minutes for a welcome laugh.

On a more serious and sadder note, the death toll due to COVID-19 will likely top 500,000 – half a million - today. The numbers of new cases and deaths do seem to be headed in a good direction, but there remain no guarantees, and we must continue to be vigilante.

Stay safe and warm.

Love,
