I have had a bunch of flights from Dulles to Riyadh on Saudia, but not in business class. My experiences have been uniformly very good. All the flights I took were uncrowded and the staff very attentive. I hear that at some times of year, such as at at the end of Ramadan, they can be crowded.

I had Covid and rebound Covid over Christmas. The symptoms were mild both times. Temperature of 99.6 and fatigue for about 12 hours. About the same thing on the rebound except that instead of fatigue I had an upset stomach.

Like LOL! I had great results with a Thera Band. Cleared things up in a few minutes a day over three weeks.

Down about 12 pounds from retirement 3 years ago.

I havent used an alarm clock since I retired, except for the few times I had to get someone to the airport before the sun was up. I seem to wake up naturally about half an hour to an hour after daybreak regardless. But it is nice to be able to lie in my bed and read if I decide to onceI wake up.
