I’m not feeling any better than I did yesterday. In fact, I feel worse. Despite my taking every reasonable precaution against catching whatever it is that I caught.
Eating out at the Cheesecake Factory seemed to have been my downfall. It’s a respiratory illness, not food-borne, so I am recommending their excellent Tuscan Chicken specialty dish.

I’m going to bed super early and hope that recovery is coming my way soon.
Sunday I was at a great science museum. Don’t take my word for it. A world famous chemist recommends the Museum of Science, Boston.
I was at the MOS with my sister, who works there, and her family. Mingling among the crowds I wore a new Powcom KN95 from Bona Fide Masks. It came off during lunch at a nearby Cheesecake Factory, and when I drove a niece and her beau to the airport.
Tuesday at the library I also wore a mask. Later, I watched the CBS Evening News.
In the middle of the night I started coughing. By noon today, Wednesday, my throat was sore and one of my ears ached. Despite the precaution of wearing a protective mask, I caught something, but it isn’t Covid.
I had a flu shot, so if that’s what it is, I’m doing a lot better than the last time I caught flu ten years ago. It feels like nothing more than a mild cold.
Got caught up on a week’s worth of The Boston Globe today.
Vlad has impaled me.
Looks like I’ll be giving up beer for a year to pay for a month’s worth of home heating oil.
Sneaking in late again, reporting for work at my backyard petting zoo.
I’ve finally returned to running for more than an hour straight. The pace isn’t what it was in my younger years, but I’m very pleased with being able to go the distance without ankle trouble. I’ve been carefully working my way back up to this since Daylight Saving Time.
Here’s a bit of what Jim Dawson says about “Sixty Minute Man” in his book, What Was the First Rock ‘N’ Roll Record: 30th Anniversary Edition, Updated and Revised.

Why important: It was the first raucous, bluesy R&B hit to cross over to the pop charts, the first shamelessly double-entendre pop it, and the first million-seller by a formative R&B vocal group.
