Covid-19 is real. Â Soon most people will know someone who has been hurt by the disease. Â My sister-in-law Terri, who is also one of my best friends, has been in the hospital with pneumonia for 9 days. Â Her son Bo, my nephew, was hospitalized yesterday. Â I hope and pray both will be fine with few or no lingering consequences. Â Needless to say, if you knew my family, it has been a non-stop drama fest. Â Yesterday Terri checked out of hospital against medical advice with no prescriptions, no supplemental oxygen, no aftercare instructions.
I’m just fine. Â They are in Las Vegas. Â I am in Southern California. Â My husband and I have really never left Lockdown.
For comfort viewing yesterday, I rewatched Leo McCarey’s The Awful Truth (1937) for the umpteenth time.  I have reviewed the film previously here.The stars, dialogue, directing, and production continue to sparkle.  It remains supremely enjoyable. For some reason, I focused on Ralph Bellamy this time. He is pretty wonderful.
