Vortex

These past few days have seemed like a whirling vortex of craziness. There is the chicanery of U.S. politics on multiple fronts. 

Then there is a vortex on a personal level. Bella was with us Monday, Monday night and Tuesday and came down with some kind of stomach/intestinal virus on Monday. She is home and better, and tonight Jeff has succumbed to it. I am doing what I can to help him, although I'm no Florence Nightingale! We will see what tomorrow brings. So far I feel OK. 

While sitting near Jeff I just finished reading a nuanced and at times gripping memoir written by James Hart, who was married to Carly Simon for nearly 20 years. Lucky Jim, "...tells the moving story of his rise from poverty to privilege and the secrets that haunted—and almost destroyed—his life." (Kirkus Review).

Hoping you all are feeling better, at least physically. Tally ho!
