I was preparing an apology to my friends and acquaintances who, like me, haven’t reached the age of 75. For some reason, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention chose 75 as the cutoff age for early Covid-19 vaccinations. I was convinced that I was partly responsible for this decision.
You see, I’ve always been plagued by the Hannah Curse. Whenever I’ve made an important decision in my life, the Hannah Curse would rear its head and turn the decision against me. More about the Hannah Curse in another post.
The CDC decision to deny early vaccination to my age group wasn’t the first time the Hannah Curse affected others. I still haven’t gotten around to apologizing for the Hannah Curse’s role in the Covid-19 pandemic.
But happily I can put my apologies aside for the moment. Somehow, fate has pushed aside the Hannah Curse. I’m up early every morning. Very early. And early this morning I heard that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is about to announce that those 65 and older (not 75 and older!) will be moved to vaccination priority status!
I’m now standing second in line at my local Walgreens. The person in front of me must be either prescient or have sleep issues even worse than mine. God, it’s cold. Maybe I should have changed out of my pajamas.

Trust me, you are not alone in your early waking. If only we could be productive at 4:30 a.m.

Well, someone just told me that my visit may be a little premature. Which I guess is good, since I no longer have any feeling in the lower half of my body. Who knew! I’m really glad to hear from you, Colnese!

Hey Paul,
Glad you are getting vaccinated. Did they have you roll up your sleeve, or bend over?
Smiles,
Cousin Bobby
