Sorry, friends (and apologies to Heather): No coffee klatch today

I was looking forward to talking about the implosion of the Republican Party, the comeuppance of billionaires like Samuel Bankman-Fried, the abrupt end of Trump’s fraudulent game of inflating assets to get loans and deflating them to minimize taxes, Rudy Giuliani’s drinking, and other cheerful matters.

But I woke up with a 103-degree temperature, my doctor told me to take a COVID test, and, well, it turns out I’ve contracted the dread thing.

Please don’t worry about me. I am fortunate to have good care. But I don’t want to infect Heather or anyone else, and I don’t have the energy to do our klatch remotely. So I’m staying in bed.

We’ll be back next Saturday morning.
