I have this really bad personality defect. Well, there are many, but this one’s so obvious I probably should do something about it. Counseling. Reprogramming. Mortification.
It troubles my family members and friends because I keep what was known in the olden days as “bad company.”
You see, I consort with liberals and conservatives ... even though it’s not always easy and nowadays it’s practically verboten. Quite honestly, it would be easier to pick a side and just delete half of my address book, but I can’t do that because you never know when I might need some good legal advice from my liberal lawyer or a good colonoscopy from my conservative gastroenterologist.

People with high-risk medical conditions would be allowed to jump the line when the coronavirus vaccine registration opens to everyone over the age of 16 on April 5, but how that will work is still unclear.
Though Gov. Ned Lamont announced Monday the state will accelerate access for those with preexisting conditions, which medical ailments will count and whether it can be handled on a unified, statewide level is still an open question, according to health experts.
“Nothing has been fully fleshed out,” said Ohm Deshpande, vice president for population health and a physician leader for Yale New Haven Health’s vaccination program. “Our goal is to come to some sort of consensus that is not at the level of a health provider or health system. We’d like to be working along the same guidelines.”

Someone asked me for a business card last week. It took some searching, but I finally found one that was faded, wrinkled and dog-eared, hidden in my wallet where it was growing mold. With all the viruses and bacteria around, I should have sanitized it. Who knows what kind of outbreak it might cause.
I’ve reached the point in life where I don’t like to hand out business cards because I don’t want people bothering me. Nevertheless, I still have something to offer society, and a business card lets me stay in the game, so from time to time I pawn one off even though it looks like a historic artifact that survived the Great Recession.
