Bob, I really hope you can escape this. Good thing is it hurts like hell but won't kill you if it goes that way. Now, I'm off to get a rapid test, seeing as we were so close together in that place.

Thanks Chris. Unfortunately, it seems the whole Christmas thing kicked off a regional super-spreader surge and there is no testing to be had by me. Cheryl is hell bent on getting tested. I personally don't care. I either have it or I don't - nothing can be done now. Other than to steer clear of others for awhile, which I will happily do for the remainder of my vacation.

Come on down. I made fajitas last night on the Blackstone and it is getting close to time to do another brisket for those cold (relatively) days ahead. Just back from a dog-food run, the stuff Zoey likes is getting harder to find which I don’t understand, all it is Alpo with extra gravy. Now off to pick up my order at the liquor store to replenish supplies before amateur night.

I'm not sure on his reasoning, (looking forward to that explanation), but for me I tested negative at first and felt like crap and I knew I was sick and I wasn't going to go anywhere or to talk to anyone and knowing I was sick was reason enough for me to isolate so I didn't get anyone else sick.
