Brat Boy joined us in the living room.  “Last class done,” he announced. “Finals next week and this year is over.”

“It’s the cliché of all clichés,” I said, “life goes on, time flies.”

“It does go by fast,” Dr. Deb agreed.

“From now on, wearing a mask, I’m going to seize the day in my gloved hands. I’m gonna make the most of the day, virus or no virus, because time flies regardless.”

I will seize today.
