It seems that everyone who knew Jo admired her lethal comments,too. I hope you're enjoying doing your edits.<br />I've attended a number of virtual conferences now, and they've mostly been great. But the best thing is that I wouldnt have otherwise been able to get to them.

I didn't know her, but I'm reading lovely tributes to her, and it's obvious that she was a special friend to others. I received my first dose of the Covid vaccine last Sunday. The rollout in Colorado has been confusing and frustrating, but it's smoothing out. I was lucky to be one of 11,000 chosen from a pool of over 300,000 eligible 1a and 1b people. My husband doesn't become eligible until the pool expands on 2/8. I've had a flu-like reaction, but that's okay. It's way better than getting Covid. 🤞🍀 I hope you get lucky soon! And good luck too with your series relaunch!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-60856803722643798642021-02-03T12:23:49.901-05:002021-02-03T12:23:49.901-05:00I've made friends over the years blogging.

Fortunately, some of our nurse friends have been able to get theirs.<br /><br />I run a few writers groups here, and two are on hiatus until further notice. The third is virtual. It's gone pretty well, overall, but I feel like I spend half the meetings saying things like, "Are you there? Can you hear me?" But we're muddling through. M.J.
