I must remember not to tell my son-in-law I need something.

He heard my daughter, his wife, say I need baking soda, meaning a small box for the fridge. He just went to Costco and now I'm the proud parent of a bouncing bag of baking soda, birth weight 13.5 lbs., plus two 50-count bottles of Pepsid because he heard the latest rumors about it being used against the virus.

I suppose it could be worse, and I'm grateful. I'll adopt the baby out (donate) and buy myself a little box. 😜

My Facebook photographic history project while staying home.

Most of my FB friends are family members. I've been going through boxes of very old photographs and posting them. My mother will be 97 in a month. I've found pictures of her in the Navy in 1943, and pictures of her mother, and pictures of all her children when little (I'm the oldest at 75.)

If I didn't make this record, who would ever see these pictures? My kids and grandkids are used to digital-only photos. I'm getting a lot of interest and excitement; it's like opening a family museum.

Out of 686 deaths to date in Massachusetts,

306 were in long-term care facilities. That vulnerable population is just being devastated. These are the people the Rethugs don't value as much as they value a dollar bill.
