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.”

FAIRFIELD An Aquarion proposal to divert water to southwestern Connecticut has drawn backlash in Fairfield where the conservation commission says the project could harm the Mill River watershed.
The project is part of Aquarion’s long range plan to meet water needs in southwestern Fairfield County. If approved, it would divert up to 14.2 million gallons a day from the Greater Bridgeport System, which includes the Mill River watershed to the Southwest Regional Pipeline to serve Greenwich, New Canaan, Stamford and Darien.
