81. The Covid scourge is indiscriminate. I am so sorry it found your brother, LuckyCharms.

Jan 2021

I lost my older brother in September, not directly to covid, but it was a contributing factor. And of course, due to the pandemic restrictions, we were not allowed travel to North Carolina to be with him or his family afterwards.

Covid sucks.

Trump sucks.

Republicans suck.

This whole past year has sucked.

I'll stop there.

Again, sorry to hear your sad news.
