Well into my 76th year now.

My orchid plant. One year later it is still alive and blooming.

Another day of reentry. But, this year is different. There is this steady under current of unrest. Waiting for Covid-19. I am having a really hard time accepting that when they mention “the elderly” they are talking to me.  Heck we have a 103 year old woman who just came back from a two week cruise today.

Dusted for the OMD-EM1 today for some flower pictures and some crows. The objective was to shoot 3 big black buzzards. But, by the time I had swapped out the battery and gotten the manual focus set – the buzzards were long gone. So, a crow must suffice.

Window Fly By – Crow. 
Resting on the ledge.

Everyone is this OLD folks Asylum is a little jumpy about what might happen when Covid-19 shows up in our facility. It really is a cruise ship. With the added feature of an 80 bed skilled nursing facility on the 2nd floor. There is a central kitchen and several satellite kitchens. We have a building HVAC system. About 400 residents and as many staff.

My greatest fear is that my friends will get really sick.  Next comes the fear that I get locked in my room.  Oh well, I have read enough post-apocalyptic fiction to know that it ain’t going to be pretty. I would have been safer in Kona. But, nobody is promised tomorrow.

Nobody is promised tomorrow.  With that firmly in mind I had chocolate cake and coffee stout for lunch. It would be ashamed to die with chocolate cake and beer in the house.
