Today’s Quote
At the break of day I confront a pile of papers.
Dusk has come before I get away.
The beauty of the morning, the beauty of the afternoon
Pass while I sit chained to an office desk.

My wife, a front line worker, got her first of two Covid shots. So far, after three days, she has not become autistic. Wait, she just became psychotic, I gotta escape (just kidding). Happy New Year.
