What a day. I’m shot.

I was incredibly impressed with Virginia’s Covid-19 vaccination program.  The Virginia Department of Health’s sign-up process was easy enough, the VDH FAQ page covered everything, and the Carilion Vaccine Clinic staff at the Berglund Center off Williamson Road in Roanoke were speedy, pleasant and courteous — even by Southern standards.  (I got in and out in no time at all.)

Everyone involved did a truly admirable job.  Way to go, VA.

Got a question about getting the Covid vaccine in Virginia?

The FAQ page over at the Virginia Department of Health is detailed and expansive.  Check it out.

I myself am rooting for the new store-brand Captain America.

He just seems so goddamn earnest — like your 11-year-old kid trying out for the team.

And he at least looks better in that uniform than I would.  (Nolan’s got a spare tire.)

Always.

May be an image of text that says 'I don't know who needs to hear this, but your choice to give up up the ast eleven or so months of your regular life, being careful and socially distancing, could very well be the reason somebody else is alive today -and it will *always* have been worth it.'

This totally just happened …

My friend Daniel Heintz:  “Boy, what changes will happen in a year.”

Me:  “Yep. Heintz’ sight is 20/20.”
