Pandemic Journal, Day 411

We started the day at Shir Hadash (via Zoom) with Torah Study and Shir Shabbat services; we ended it at the Shir Hadash Gala (via Zoom) with a performance by ComedySportz San Jose.

In between, we walked, cooked, and ate – it was a restful Shabbat.

Well, it was until I wanted to add an image to this entry and have that image show up on Facebook as the preview of this entry. Adding the image worked, but then I discovered I’d used the wrong aspect ratio and only part of one word showed up on Facebook.

Correcting that problem required me to delete this entry…twice, as well as deleting the post on Facebook that referred to it; I also had to change the URL of this entry. And even that wasn’t sufficient – Facebook is still showing the wrong image. C’est la vie!

Pandemic Journal, Day 410

I finished the Almaniac and sent in my answers this afternoon; I have hopes of having done well, but I’ve been fooled before. I’ll find out next week.

We started seriously looking at flights for our upcoming trip to Iceland and ordered Rick Steves’ Iceland book. The tour doesn’t include a lot of time in Reykjavik (we do go out to the Golden Circle for a full day), so we’re thinking of staying two or three days after the tour and exploring the city. After that, we’ll fly to Boston to visit our son – this is all, of course, assuming that the COVID-19 situation remains good in the US and Iceland. The horrifying news from India makes me wonder, but I can hope.
