Woohoo!!! Late this evening I got the results of my Covid test. As I suspected, I do not have Covid. The test results validated that and stated there was is also no evidence of Flu A and Flu B. I didn’t know the test included this, but good to know. I continue to be free of any symptoms, so now I can come out of self-quarantine and officially start getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with Heather and family.
Not sure where my day went, but wherever, it was enjoyable. Once in a great while I watch Nicole Wallace on ‘Deadline: White House’ which airs on MSNBC in the late afternoon. Today was one of those days and I got to hear presidential historian Jon Meacham. I always enjoy hearing him put the present day into historical perspective. Today I really wished I had a pen and paper at hand to write down what he was saying. Unfortunately, I did not, and by the time I did, I had forgotten the exact wording. He was talking about Saint Augustine and his definition of ‘state’. It involved rationale beings in a commonality of love, but that is as much as I can remember. The two main ideas, rationale beings and commonality of love, are something I believe we are missing in this country right now. I tried to Google the definition but couldn’t find the exact quote. I did, however, find another quote by Saint Augustine saying, “Where there is no justice, there is no commonwealth.” We all need to think long and hard about that statement.
