Click
One day soon, but not soon enough, Weary of the vapid sitcoms And offensive commercials We will grab the clicker And summon the Grand Kabuki Of baseball. A jittery old pitcher Scuffing at the mound. A kid we don’t know, pinch-hitting For the first time in the majors. Mutual insecurities Banging up against each other. We will be transfixed by this duel between strangers And we will dump Carmelo chucking it up, And snowboarders, and bad movies, The stupidity of 800 channels. As my friend Ford writes, Sitting out the winter in coastal Virginia, Reading Blake, waiting for AA ball: Hang in there.

“I don’t think people understand how Covid affects older Americans,” Mr. Caretti said with frustration. “In 2020, there was this all-in-this-together vibe, and it’s been annihilated. People just need to care about other people, man. That’s my soapbox.” ---Vic Caretti, 47, whose father recently died of Covid at 85. ---From an article by Paula Span, who covers old age for the NYT, which currently has 2646 comments, the majority criticizing the American public – and public officials – for acting as if the pandemic is “over.” Classic wishful thinking, at a lethal level.
