Describe an experience this week that made you happy.
Lobster dinner at a wedding - caught and cooked by the bride's neighbor. A lovely experience to be among friends. Yet 5 of the guests at the wedding were not vaccinated. We knew who two of the five were and felt scared not knowing who the three other people were. So we kept our distance on the dance floor and buffet line, and smiled and waved when introduced instead of shaking hands.. I was relieved and happy that the wedding day weather was good so we could be outside for this celebration -- improving the safety profile of this 70-person gathering.

Talk about what is most upsetting or scaring you right now about the coronavirus pandemic.
India. Not simply because of the horrors inflicted upon the masses by their leadership, but also because it has (needlessly) become a petri dish for SARS-CoV-2 variants that may threaten my health, even though I am vaccinated (against the Coronavirus Classic!). So, yeah, I'm upset, and scared, but mostly angry, because this is all just so unnecessary. History will reveal who the bad leaders were and who the good leaders were (in autocratic states). Even in non-autocratic states, history will reveal the forces of death-cult and greed who posed overwhelming challenges to otherwise good leaders - e.g., Michigan governor vs. its state leg. Meanwhile, we wait for history, and some of us die, or experience lifelong disabilities, waiting for history.
