I do not usually write ahead of the week’s rhythm. Fridays suit an old woman. They allow time for tea, rereading, and the small mercy of correcting one’s own excessive cleverness. But this cannot wait for Friday.
This is great news and again thank you to AM Seawright for filling Covid support gaps where RIOC continue to fail completely.
Recognition should also be extended to our local Duane Reade / Walgreens who continue to provide Moderna 1st, 2nd and booster shots (including Moderna as a mixed booster) every day of the week.
Rebecca is one of the most publically oriented electeds, and here, she’s done solid work again. Got all three of my shots at Duane Reade and each were handled with professionalism as the highest.
