He sends his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all," Clinton's deputy chief of staff Angel Ureña said in a statement.

2. Whew! Glad to hear this!

By the way, my wife and I caught some of a book-talk on CSPAN on Saturday night: Cory Booker discussing “Citizen” with Bill Clinton. Excellent stuff…recommended!

8. I have been experiencing some sort of flulike illness.

I am on medication for it. My daughter in California has decided to stay home for Christmas. Our community theater has cancelled the Christmas play. They have never done that! There is strange illness all over the country.

9. Highly unlikely. The virus (or family thereof) mutates quickly. In the years since I started getting vaxxed...

…I’ve had one break-through case, and that was it. The thing is, I did get it — bleah.
