Oh what fun it is to ride the Covid sleigh tonight! After a foolishly ambitious day out among the Burqueans, despite having seen the black COVID count flag hanging over the state, no big surprise I tested positive today after coming up sniffly.

This ride lifted my normal 97.5 temp to 98.3 (no biggie but notable) at 3p, 98.8 at 5p, and, just to show off, 100.7 by 7p.

Julie is avoiding me like the plague I am, and I trailing antiseptic wipes across all surfaces I touch. Already took dose one of paxlovid, we’ll see what tonight and tomorrow bring.

Hope everyone else is well, and Santa, don’t you come down my chimney!

So thankful for getting to spend this holiday season with family as we wrestle with my dad’s final journey. He has gotten so see his grandchildren and great grand child and the rest of us often. We shared smiles with him and with one another (and tears as well). Bittersweet and fully, painfully rich.

This was a great show on NPR! Rarely am I so unanimously in agreement with what the experts are saying as I was here.

The gist is: pay attention first and foremost to who your child, each child, is individually. S*x, gender and gender identification are all secondary considerations. Social expectations can and will affect you and your children. Be aware of them, address them, but don't feel bound by them. And help your child glory in the full experience of who s/he is. You, they and the world will be better and happier for it (though not all at the same time or in the same proportion necessarily). It's complicated.

Listen in!

That sentence, "shame on you..." Is one of the worst sentences ever constructed. It has done more damage in more ways to more lives than any other I can think of.

Shaming is terrible for us all. There are reprehensible behaviors like murder, bullying and shaming but using such language is a soul-sucking subtraction from the sum total of goodness in the world. Do you feel it? Feel the squeeze as the ceiling of possibility for human potential has just been lowered two notches--one for shaming, the other for focusing on an act of goodness for the general human condition.
