Also, we now are provided with empathy and reason.  Science now is considered before making decisions on health care.  What a difference it makes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FEMA was immediately called up to assist with the Texas debacle.  We have a president of the United States, not of just the red states.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon we will have Merrick Garland as the Attorney General.  An independent head of the justice department who will serve our country and our interests and not be a mouth piece for the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words we now have a back to normal executive branch of government.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I received my 2nd dose of COVID vaccine Tuesday.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moderna caused a day of extreme fatigue as those antibodies took hold.  After giving in for a day to recover, I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and ready to tackle today.  A foggy morning has turned into a beautiful day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have energy today, I have not had for several months.  Plan&#8217;s call for a couple of months to enjoy the Florida sun and then off to visit my son on the west coast.  It will be good to be mobile again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The rest of life, includes&#8230;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reading.  I&#8217;m reading junky legal thrillers.  Authors Robin James and Sheldon Siegel recent enjoyable sidelights.  I&#8217;m interested in getting back into science fiction.  Anyone know of authors I should look into?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I continue to play bridge online.   The recent results are disappointing, but I do have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">As always I need to exercise more and lose some weight.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a Great Day.
