TIP FROM NIC
Believe it or not, it's time to think about flu season. Fortunately, many of the same precautions we are taking to protect ourselves from COVID are also effective in avoiding flu transmission: mask wearing, social distancing, frequent hand-washing, and coughing or sneezing into one's sleeve. But, like the COVID vaccine, the single most important step we can take to protect ourselves against the flu is to get a flu shot. Again, like COVID, while breakthrough infections in people who have received a flu vaccine are possible, the likelihood of severe illness or death is greatly reduced. Flu shots are available free-of-charge from most pharmacies. The Town of New Canaan is also offering two flu clinics at Lapham on Oct. 13 and Oct. 15 from 1pm to 3pm each day, by appointment only. Appointments can be made by calling the Lapham Center at 203-594-3620.

Into Thin Air
by Jon Krakauer
|
Sherm Bull recommended this #1 National Bestseller during his fantastic presentation last month describing when he became the oldest person to summit Mt. Everest.
If you missed Sherm's talk or you'd like to read more about the experience of climbing this 29,000 ft. peak, Into Thin Air has been described as a "harrowing tale of the perils of high-altitude climbing, a story of bad luck and worse judgment and of heartbreaking heroism."
The Wall Street Journal says this book "ranks among the great adventure books of all time."
Give us a call after you've read this one and let us know when you are planning on scaling Mt. Everest!
