Just a headache and some nausea; very little associated with COVID-19. Called out today, too.

I'm hoping some rest will help. My team and I are snapping at each other. We've never done that before...

Get some rest and tomorrow will be a better day. Stress can make the best a little edgy. I am sure it will be better when you get back.

Be well.

An astronomer who had signed aboard the cruise gave a talk one night, out under the stars, and gave us an interesting lecture on the constellations.

Sipping wine and reading a great mystery. How are you doing this evening? Hope you are feeling better.

My favorites are mysteries set in Ancient Rome.

I'd find an author that I liked and find everything that he or she wrote. Two of my all time favorites were Dick Francis (used to be a steeplechase jockey in his youth, rode for the Queen Mother) and Anne Perry (who has several different series, mostly historical, I read them all). If you're not familiar with them, you might be interested, they're both set in England.

It's pretty good. A little more acidic than I'd like. But it's going down well...

And if you can't answer that try: In the movie The Strawberry Blonde, there are two characters named Biff, one major and one minor. Who played them?
