Have you noticed that, when you’re trying to be careful of what you eat, you are suddenly surrounded by food?

David and I spent the weekend in COVID jail – not because we had the virus, but because we didn’t. He had some minor surgery on his hand on Monday at the VA in Dallas, and as part of the pre-op procedure, we had to go in Friday for him to have a COVID test. […]
