Yeah. Saw that.

First thing I thought of was - he won’t be around to see how it ends.

But he just got a balcony seat. At a safe distance.

Sad, though, for the rest of us. Quite a life you had, sir!

When I was still working, I covered a press junket for “The Hunt for Red October.” I sat right next to him at our table. All I could think of while he was there was “SHIT! I’M SITTING NEXT TO SEAN CONNERY...”

Dayum...

Good post! I especially like your last paragraph.

“Don’t do that to yourself. Four days. Be strong. Be optimistic. Don’t let them have you.”

BE STRONG.

Add this little factoid in:

Just saw it at 6:13pm

NBC News: 98,583 new COVID cases today, single day record.

Typed out here while listening to a Montana ICU nurse being interviewed as he desperately tried to stifle tears: "I'm broken. I'm broken. And my colleagues are broken."

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
