Meanwhile, my baby granddaughter in NICU -(she was a little early, got to make sure she is on track , in good hands. ) spending so much time going between work to hospital and back catching snippets of all the news. it is surreal.

When we were moving her to NICU -they have use a hospital security guy for escort. Old guy. Well-meaning but not professional and tone-deaf.. Giving me his 2 bits about "the panic" on the way up. I had to block/ engage him in this banter, because my wife doesn't suffer fools when 1st grandbaby is being rolled thru the hospital.
