Your email arrived in my inbox within seconds of a hair-raising doom and gloomer from Thom Hartman titled The Nightmare Scenario. Thank God you’re feeling well enough to have somehow intuited this. Your measured tone and reassurances are a blessing. Thank you.

Wait! Wait! It is Saturday evening and it was this writer’s understanding that you were going to get rest as you dealt with COVID. Your good efforts are valued by most readers, certainly me. While this editions offers important information, might you want to think first of your health so your continued good efforts to offer readers the tools to make informed conclusions of their own? Where is your Managing Editor? It is time for her nurturing persona to kick in? Get some rest.

Thanks for writing today's newsletter, even as you grapple with COVID. Today's Jan 6 hearing was yet another incredible chapter in "history in the making". As crazy as all these unfolding facts are to hear, I still feel democracy is holding. Like the old Timex watch commercial, "it takes a licking but keeps on ticking".

Please take care, Robert (if I may so call you), and focus on getting well. Protect yourself (selves) against long Covid by respecting and responding to every ounce of fatigue as you begin to feel better. We need you--you can best take care of us by doing a bit LESS than you think you can. When you can and if it does not trespass too much, any guesses you might have about how you got it might help those of us who are living claustrophobically cloistered in making choices. Thank you for tonight'…

Thanks, Robert, for all you do - hopefully you all Ave mild cases and a good dose of immunization to prevent against the next variant!

The only thing I’m waiting for is Pat Cippolone to have his “John Dean” moment when he realizes his oath and duty is to the Office of the Presidency - NOT Donald Trump. Does the man have a conscious?
