We read The Power of the Stars about the Spanish Flu in Dublin, only they called it the Grippe.

I learned that the Italian influenza referred to any disease outbreak thought to be influenced by stars.

In the book all sorts of poster slogans regarding the flue were mentioned. This is my favorite one.

COVER UP EACH COUGH OR SNEEZE....FOOLS AND TRAITORS SPREAD DISEASE.

Watching You Can’t Take It With You. It hasn’t aged well.

You Can’t Take It With You.

Was in love with this play when I first encountered it in High School.

Good evening.

I have a ZOOM meeting in a few minutes. I like ZOOM meetings. I don't have to leave the house.

And if I don't stand up, no one knows I'm wearing pajama shorts.

So was I. I think the film, though, could lose 15 minutes or so.

The only thing I didn’t do today was sit down to read. There will be enough time for that after I get home.

Alexa would get a talking-to from me for that.

Speaking of Christmas, I do hope that it's a somewhat toned down one this year. I know many retailers feel they must be ultra aggressive, but with so many people out of work I think it'd be kinder to give some of it a rest. I've noticed that since Covid I've received fewer catalogs. Electronics are selling, but many other items don't seem to be, whether in-store or online.
