What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 278 & BENKYO RADIO 278.

I wanted to let you know that I have completed the COVID-19 vaccination process. It was great. I got two shots of vaccine within 2-3 weeks of one another. I want you to know that it was easy, and that you should do it too. By vaccinating myself, I am now eager to hug family / relatives & friends whom I have not seen in a very long time. Doctors in hospitals implore you, they have people in ICUs on ventilators. This pandemic is no joke. I cannot wait to sit down in a coffee shop and read a book, while watching rain on the window. I also look forward to a trip to the Irish Pub, and watch some football (soccer) while drinking a beer. Can’t wait until everything starts to reopen!

Zack Snyder’s Justice League was pretty good! It was long, so it took a few viewings so I could watch the whole thing.

Until next time!
