Sigh. My ninety-four-year-old aunt, my main relative, is in the hospital from a fall and a stroke. Not doing so well. The hospital is so overwhelmed from COVID that they have a tent outside for COVID patients (9F overnight last night) and only one visitor a day is allowed for other patients. It's a mess.

Glad to have the WFMU fam to hang out with for distraction. Thanks for being here, Rex and all the Fools.
