I'm healthy... but bored.... and to make things worse, I just got "Registered Guest" status on American Airlines, meaning I can fly for free anywhere they fly as long as there is an open seat... but with this continuing pandemic, I'm grounded... at least I'm in San Diego...

Excelsior!
Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow helped further popularize excelsior as an aspirational cry for “Ever upward!” in an 1841 poem. Stan Lee, too.

Showed up once or twice during the first season of The Flash. Might have been tribute to Stan Lee. They did a lot of such tributes, DC or not.

We're good.
The missus and I just came back from the park where we shot a half hour of hoops.

Not bad for 82/69

My two kids and their gf's both (Independently) came down with mild cases, last week...one set completely recovered/negative, my eldest, just about over it.

Day 3 on the wagon, feeling good.

My wife and I are still OK but we have never known so many people who are getting COVID at one time as in the past week or so. Probably about 8-10 people we are related to or work with have tested positive.

 

[Boreifs]

Not sure. Tryin to find a place to get tested

Have you tried the CVS website?

 

[Boreifs]

I have a colleague who is fully vaccinated with booster. He played in the orchestra for a Choral concert and five days later he tested positive. He is sick but slowly getting better. Dangerous times for everyone.

Monday was not a good day. Took our COVID tests for our cruise thru the Panama Canal on New Year's Eve. Needless to say, we are at home. Wife was positive & I was negative. We had a feeling this was going ot happen as we went to neighbors for a evening get-to-gether the day before Christmas Eve. One tested positive the next day. Friday we will be clear. Its the Omicron variant according to her doctor. Such is life. And yup, its like a bad cold.

Outside of that we are good. Enjoying the Florida sun with temps in the low 80's. So a quiet week. New Year's Eve celebration will be quiet too. She has her wine & vodka and I've got plenty of bourbon. Just have to figure what to cook.

I'm good, but getting tired of writing up the Prognosticators Prediction game threads, just to have the game POSTPONED. I hope and pray that they can get the Georgetown game in for all of us BY'ers so we can get back to ALMOST normal. Happy New Year everyone!

I read a med journal that Excelsior was the working title for ... viagra.

I’ve tried everywhere. I would get a time, put my info in and then it was not available!!

 

[veryolddog]

For 79, I am good enough. I divide my time between San Antonio and my ranch. It is going to get real cold up in Northern NM pretty soon but a fire in the fireplace feels really good. Nice to look at the mountains and the animals.

All good on Long Island. Just got back from grandson's basketball game. Weather here is [relatively] warm. Happy New Year!

[HuskyNan]

When you’ve had 2 cancer surgeries and you’re still here, you learn to appreciate that every day is a good day!

We’re rooting for you!

 

[HuskyNan]

Doing ok here. I got to see my sons for Christmas and it’s mid-80’s here in Orlando. I appreciate my family and good health.

 

[Charliebball]

Hiding with the rest of my family while my daughter finishes up with COVID.......going on seven days and so far nobody else has tested positive........poor kid is feeling perfectly fine other than a loss of taste and missing all her friends who are also home from college.......

 

[Alydar]

When I read Excelsior my mind goes to an old movie, The Bad Seed, in which an 11 year old girl murders a man by setting fire to the excelsior he was sleeping on. Not her worst crime either.
