As case numbers are surging out of control like no time before since the pandemic began its siege stateside back in March, a vaccine is on the horizon with the initial doses set to distribute to health care workers -and maybe to those at highest risk as well- in a matter of weeks. The past Thanksgiving Day offered Americans a sobering choice which was either to risk infection with large holiday gatherings or stay solo with the immediate family. We of course chose the latter and are doing all we can to remains vigilant during this terrifying second wave.
Meanwhile the resident White House psychopath continues to spread his scurrilous lies and baseless conspiracy theories, even as the President-elect has rightly moved on with the transition. Sadly his equally deranged minions are all too willing to embrace and sponsor all the lies and impossibly preposterous narratives.
Many of us are busy with your reading, listening and viewings hobbies to bring some degree of sanity and enrichment, and we send on positive energy for continued safety at this exceedingly difficult time.
I am hoping we can all get vaccinated before the end of the year. Safety to all, the best to you and Lucille!
Ricky, it is now a matter of weeks or even less. I see the usual fear mongers are out there urging against vaccination. We are in a scary place. Thank you.
Who sings the aria from La Wally better–Maria Callas (whose birthday is today) or American soprano Wilhelmina Fernandez in the French film Diva (1982)?
Answer: nobody my friend. You are dead on with Callas and Fernandez. One of my own favorite arias of all time. Thank you!
