Now stab and end the creature -- to the heft!

By which I mean, the COVID-19 virus. I got my first shot today. HCMC, having sent me an invitation and let me make an appointment, did not blink at the fact that I had to abandon them in 2017 because I couldn't get an insurance plan on the marketplace that counted their clinics as being in-network. They just did the thing.

It was pretty fast and smooth, but there were a lot of people in there. I am not used to that any more.

When we got home and I was walking through the back yard to the door, a cardinal was calling and calling from one of the mulberry trees. I was very glad to hear it.

Robins always seem to come home at the wrong time, but they seem to survive it. They are so cheerful.

You aren't on my Facebook...

When I was working at the l.s. there was Sam Donnelly. He was old, and his hygiene was kind of suspect, and he really was an institution. His exam questions ALWAYS involved Peter Parker (Spiderman). He was a giver of the 'gentleman's "C"'. Well...I don't know in what context, but I mentioned to him one year that I had already seen my first robin of the spring. He said that was good luck, but to see one before St. Patrick's Day, well, that was the best. Sam passed 10 years ago. And every year when I see my first robin (usually before St. Patrick's Day) I think of Sam.

I love this story. Now I'll think of Sam too, when I see a robin.
