Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Seeing the photo of the nurse receiving the covid vaccine in New York was uplifting. I have friends who are doctors or whose kids are doctors or nurses, and what a relief to know they will soon be protected! I'm hoping sometime this coming spring we will be getting our shots as well. The light at the end of the tunnel, as they say. I've spent part of my morning tracking some gifts yet again. Two have been shipped, but no delivery. My guess is they were sent by way of Nova Scotia. I might as well be playing Where's Waldo. It's sunny today and I plan on walking. Otherwise, no plans yet again. Surprise, surprise. I've been reading a strange memoir about a woman's experience in the tech industry in San Francisco, and the world she describes is as bizarre as this year we're in. I thought I'd see what these startups are all about, though I'm not quite clear at this point, but I'm not half way through yet. Her writing style is engaging and honest, and that keeps me going. I'd really like to do almost anything else but read, but can't quite make myself. We watched Columbo last night, the highlight of yesterday. Donald Pleasance was terrific in the mystery, and Julie Harris was delightful. This one was lighter and made fun of wine affectionados. Pleasance was so terrific and you could tell Falk was utterly charmed. It was fun to watch, and just to see Falk young and less mannered in his role as Columbo. Well, these are the highlights of my life, pitiful as they are.
