My mom cried on the phone with me today because my dad had tried to hug her and she still thinks he’s just a strange man. They’ve been married 54 years. #Alzheimers is so awful

- I have a friend whose 16 year old son Matthew right now needs your prayers. He’s in critical condition with COVID, undergoing dialysis and on a ventilator. A stark reminder, once again, that this awful virus can hit anyone at any age and that the young and healthy are not immune.
- My dad, calling me at 11 pm at night: “Did you know Trump got acquitted?” Me: “Do you understand my job?”
- Ayes: Cruz, Hawley, Hyde-Smith, Kennedy, Marshall, Tuberville

- I honestly didn’t know who BTS were until tonight’s #SNL
- I asked for prayers earlier for my friend’s son Matthew, an otherwise healthy 16 yo who has COVID &was in the ICU fighting for his life. He’s improved some but still on ventilator. Now, despite isolating, his 14 yo brother Timothy, has it too and is also in PICU & needs prayers
- Man at Amtrak this morning: “I’ve never ridden the train before. Anything special I should know?” Amtrak employee, with a blank look: “you just get on and sit down”
- Utah Gov Spencer Cox — who has long been an unassuming advocate for turning down the political temperature and filmed campaign ads with his Dem opponents — is perhaps the best spokesman right now for this tragic moment
