Almost forgot today. Got thank you notes from Jenni and Kara. I did some painting - used the backs of Grandma and Grandpa Roberts's high school diplomas. Sloppy art. I haven't painted or drawn anything in a long time. 

Vaccines are going all over the place. Essential workers and very at-risk people are getting it first (apparently politicians are essential.). There was a picture in the paper of a 103-year-old woman on Monday who became the first resident of a New Jersey nursing home to be given a vaccine. I know they are more at risk and in assisted living because they can't manage on their own, but giving a 103 year old woman a vaccine that could be given to a younger person who is also at risk is somehow a little off kilter.

Anyway - here's today's update
