1. Wonderful story!

2. I read that story yesterday

So heartwarming! The one sister is 20 years older than the other and only knew her as a baby before they were separated. They had the same father. I think they said there were 13 siblings/step-siblings in the family.

4. The paywall is in place for me now.

I don't know why. I could read WaPo stories at work (for research purposes only!) no problem. Several months, all of us were sent home, with work computers. Now that I work at home, I can't read the articles. Same computer. I don't get it.

And good morning. Busy week coming up, emplyment report-wise.

5. Before I retired

we had access to all sorts of papers including the WSJ but they had to be accessed specifically through links on our agency's intranet webpage, otherwise we got the paywall. After I retired I ended up getting my own WaPo sub (already had a NYT one since 1976 and have had a Philly Inquirer one just as long once the old Philadelphia Bulletin started faltering and got sold multiple times before folding - my mom briefly had a WSJ sub, that was mailed to her daily back in the '70s/'80s but she eventually dropped it).

And Friday should be interesting to say the least (although that report will probably not capture the virus surges later in July that might have started spiking the UE numbers again).

3. That might be the only good story to come out of this mess
