                                             I see that Stephen Sondheim passed away yesterday.  Never a huge fan of his work, to be honest, but no question that the man changed the musical and, arguably, saved it from certain death.

                                            Coke with breakfast?  Well, I guess it's not much different than coffee with sugar, still wouldn't order it though.  Other than that, great looking breakfast.

                                             Guess which Greek letters WHO skips over when naming COVID variants. WHO skips over Greek letters 'nu' and 'xi'; names new variant 'omicron' "'Nu' is too easily confounded with ‘new,’ and ‘X' was not used because it is a common last name, and WHO best practices for naming disease suggest avoiding ‘causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups,’" a WHO spokesperson told Fox News in a statement on Saturday. Attorney Jonathan Turley suggested in a Friday tweet that the "concern is that W.H.O. is again avoiding any discomfort for the Chinese government," referencing Chinese President Xi Jinping.
