My brother and I always found it hilarious that our most prudish grandmother, who practically fainted at the slightest hint of sex on TV, loved the music of Rod Stewart and Tom Jones and considered them perfect specimens of masculinity. This weekend’s video is (quite inappropriately) dedicated to her.

The original plan was to highlight Ronnie Spector, but today we learned that Grandma has COVID-19 after yet another outbreak in her nursing home. She’s fully vaccinated and boosted and had even emerged unscathed when a past roommate contracted the virus, but with the higher transmissibility of omicron and the raging community spread in her region this felt like an inevitability. We’ve already lost one relative to COVID pre-vaccine. Hopefully Grandma and Moderna are able to pull this off.

UPDATE: Hooray for boosters! My octogenarian grandmother made it through what is presumed to be the omicron variant of COVID-19. She experienced severe fatigue and loss of appetite for about four days. As those symptoms resolved she developed a mild cough but claimed to be otherwise comfortable.
