DEAR HARRIETTE: I have a cousin who is getting up in age and who seems to be incredibly lonely. She calls me several times a week, obsessing over one thing or another. She is retired, and I am still working. I do not have time to listen to her endless worries about this or that, but I know that she needs a lifeline.
Dear Doctors: Where do we stand on coffee these days? It seems like there's always a new study that says either coffee is healthy or that it's bad for you. I've even read that coffee helps your brain stay sharp. I love my daily morning cup and hope that the most recent news about coffee is good.
Orthodox conservative and loyal Republican J. Michael Luttig was appointed to the federal bench by President Bush 41 and was often mentioned as a possible Supreme Court nominee.

Have you been following the court case Biden v. Texas? It’s not in the headlines every day, but court filings in the case are giving us the best picture yet of what the Biden administration is doing on the U.S.-Mexico border. And the news is very, very bad.

Dear Editor,

DEAR HARRIETTE: My contract wasn't renewed at my job, and I have no backup plan. I'm devastated. This was my dream job. I know that there was plenty of room for improvement on my end, but they really made it seem that I would have at least another six months to learn and grow within the company. Severance pay was not in my contract, so I have no clue what to do until I find another job. I'm discouraged about even looking for a new job right now. How do I figure out what's next for me? – Nonrenewal
Dear Doctors: I get why people are totally over dealing with COVID-19, but I don't have that luxury. I'm 31 years old, and I thought I was lucky when my case of COVID-19 only felt like a bad cold. But it's been six months now, and I'm still sick. Have we learned anything new about what causes long COVID-19?
