A year and 11 days after we hunkered down for a quick two-week quarantine to ride out the global COVID-19 pandemic, I received the first of my two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. And then, I had pizza and apple pie. I could not be more grateful, a la vida que me ha dado tanto. […]
Half a Mill
A year-ish, give or take…depending on where you are, since the global COVID-19 pandemic thrust humanity into a long season of self-isolation and systems-shocking quarantine, America has lost more than 500,000 people to the novel coronavirus. More than half a million humans gone, only in the United States of America. The global death toll is […]

‘One Night in Miami…’ x King of Cups
Thank goodness for Regina King. For decades now, from 1996’s Jerry Maguire (my official introduction), to the Legally Blonde and Miss Congeniality sequels, to TV’s 24 and HBO’s The Leftovers, I’ve appreciated the style and the power with which the actress has refined her craft and blazed her trail. Her work on the American Crime […]

And there on Christmas she was, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, the hero we the pandemic peeps of the year that wasn’t needed, nay, deserved, in a long-awaited blockbuster sequel premiering at oh-so-select theaters across our COVID nation (ay, pero qué pasó, California – we know better than to surge at this stage in the game, […]

Good thing the novel coronavirus vaccine has made its way stateside. Today, nine-ish months after humanity and the world went into lockdown on account of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and as the United States of America’s death toll passed 301,000, Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse in Queens, N.Y., became the first American to be […]
Habemus Vaccine
Oh joy. Today, five days to the day that’ll mark eight months in self-isolation on account of the COVID-19 global pandemic, elderly patients in the U.K., including a man named William Shakespeare (GTS), received the first doses of a vaccine for the novel coronavirus that has infected more than 68 million earthlings and claimed more […]
