Jinx

 Nice day at the beach, but few fish. We (my daughter in law and me) caught two small whiting and she caught a big catfish. My son and I tossed the whiting out as live bait. I pulled mine in after a bit to see how it was doing. Something had hit it hard and ripped the throat out. I tossed it back out as dead bait. Then I made the fateful comment, “Jim, we’ve never hooked a stingray off the beach have we?”  Boom the rod doubled over.

Things to never say:

OOP

 After my last fishing trip, SheeWhoMustBeObeyed and I both got the Rona. With our co-morbidities, we could have had a much worse time of it. Thankfully, it was but the worst cold of my life.

We are deeply grieved over the folks we know who have really suffered and a few have died from COVID. 

This is such a strange disease. There is so much misinformation out there from both government and non-government authorities. I was at a real loss on who to trust.  We ended up getting through it just with over the counter meds.

We are both well on the way to recovery: anosia for me and ageusia and anosia for her that is slowly lessening for both of us.
