Allen, I'm going follow behind you. Rather excited and nervous. I got up earlier than usual and went right to the computer. Maybe I was expecting important news. You are my first human contact this morning. I think that is a good sign. 🌈 🌝 ✈️ 🟥🍁🟥 🌿❤️ 🌷

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a girl healthy, wealthy and wise. :-)

Hi Allen. The hands of the clock here are past noon. Are you and Tanya now on a plane to Canada? Where are you?

'U.S. regulators have authorized a fourth dose of Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine for Americans 50 and older because of concerns about waning immunity in the age group, the drugmakers said on Tuesday.

'The U.S. Food and Drug Administration also authorized this additional booster of the vaccine for people aged 12 and older with compromised immune systems.'

After a quick search, there does not appear to be any changes in Canadian provinces. You and Tanya may be eligible at any rate.

I am not the only subscriber, sweaty or not, eager for your news. Cheers! 🟥🍁🟥 ❤️

Allen, Hi! I grinned from ear to ear when I saw your name. I've been working on my tax returns, so you can imagine how bleary eyed I was and still am. Your name lights up; it cannot be missed. When you get a chance please tell me how you and Tanya are doing and what your surroundings are like. I donated today to UNHCR for Ukrainian refugees. The evil of Putin, what you have been through and what I'm witnessing …. I will not turn away. Americans -- many good among us -- but, Allen we don't compare to the Ukrainian people. Your spirit lifts mine. With all good feeling and a chunk of my heart. I'll be happy to hear for you when you have a chance. Waving hello to you and Tanya. 💫🍎(NYC apple)

Sounds good to me, TC. Hmmm, early for you, too or is it late? Taking the plane out for flight into the wild blue yonder?

Did you see my comment about New York Magazine's cover, 'The Cult of Adam Tooze'? It's a funny one, very Abbott & Costello.

It's behind a paywall. I find Tooze's analysis excellent.
