What a week. Reports to finish, a Zoom lecture, and worries about The Mama's health...we're hanging in there, but find ourselves reeling a bit.
Life is beginning to steady itself -- and The Mama is improving. Thank God.

England loses the 2020 Euro Final -- Italy wins. (Sorry, Brit friends.)
The injured wife of Haiti's assassinated president speaks up. Also in the article was this curious connection:
Under Haiti’s 1987 constitution, the head of the Supreme Court should take over as interim president.
But amendments that are not unanimously recognised state that it be the prime minister, or, in the last year of a president’s mandate – as was the case with Moise – that parliament should elect a president.
Further complicating the situation, the head of the Supreme Court died last month after contracting COVID-19 amid a surge in infections. There is also no sitting parliament as legislative elections scheduled for late 2019 were postponed amid political unrest.
Sounds more and more like a setup, doesn't it?

Smart strategies against inflation. (From Liz Weston)
A very strange account about a librarian -- who gives one of her students a haircut. There's GOT to be more to this story...

So the government isn't going to MAKE you get the vaccine -- but it's initiating door-to-door response teams who are going to urge you to do it. Lots of emotional statements here.

What?? A librarian felt the need to cut a student's hair?? (And I'm guessing there's more to the story than we're being told.)
A miffed treasure hunter is suing Forrest Fenn's estate for $10 million because 1)he didn't get the treasure, and 2) he alleges that it was actually moved after he solved all the clues. Talk about tantrums...

A swimmer argues that the Olympics should allow caps that fit more bouncy hairdos, like Afros. This is silly. Let her wear it! I'd always thought the formfitting caps were supposed to reduce drag and let you swim faster. If she can do it faster with this cap on...why not?
Ten wonderful Fred Astaire dance scenes.
Have a great week.
