ONE
A man of very brittle age was inaugurated as President of the United States today. That means it’s a pretty good day for the over 80’s brittle crowd, as well as every Trump hater and Democrat throughout the world.
Trump himself is pretty darned brittle at 74. While he would be Biden’s age for the next presidential election, when he said, “we will be back in some form,” he was most certainly talking about his son… or daughter maybe. Time will tell.
TWO
Biden’s wife, Jill, is 69 years-old. If she wasn’t FLOTUS, she wouldn’t yet be eligible for a COVID vaccine. At least not in Indiana. She’s in the 60-70 brittle group… albeit higher on the scale than I. Still, today in the Tribune it was stated that the over 60 people in my county would have a vaccine rollout within the next 1 to 2 weeks. That’s good news for low ranking brittles, like me.

Being of brittle age is not fun. I’m willing to bet that even if you’re President it’s not all that great. I know being eligible for a COVID vaccine isn’t so amazing that I wouldn’t trade it to be 30 again.
And finally, brittle old age claimed my favorite brother’s dog, Bonzo, yesterday. He was such a angry little shit, but I still feel awful for Scott who loved him.
