Today my wife and I received our second COVID-19 vaccine doses. We both got the Pfizer version. Now we wait fourteen days for the full effect to kick and and then we will be able to resume fairly “normal” life. |
|
Saying that, we anticipate wearing masks in public until summer of 2022. Wearing masks IS NOW the new normal until scientists can advise about the various strains of COVID and the effectiveness of the current vaccines against them. |
|
What’s different then? We anticipate “some” travel restrictions will be lifted and we’ll be able to visit family in Liverpool and go other places (stores and restaurants) without too much worry. We also are looking forward to more casual and comfortable visits with family members (summer BBQ’s, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners). |
|
We have lost friends and loved ones and we are grateful to have gotten through this pandemic by the grace of God, the luck of fate, the hard work of all the scientists and first line care givers and other critical staff who have worked throughout this crisis, and (probably not least importantly) by wearing masks, social distancing and washing our hands. |

The best gifts to give: |
To your friend, loyalty; |
To your enemy, forgiveness; |
To your boss, service; |
To a child, a good example; |
To your parents, gratitude and devotion; |
To your mate, love and faithfulness; |
To all men and women, charity. |
|
— Oren Arnold |
|
[In the original, the quote is a single sentence. I’ve modified the format to suit my “poetic” taste. There is a variation on this quote which reads: ] |
|
“A Christmas gift suggestion: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.” — Oren Arnold |
|
[I like both versions – even when it’s not Christmas Season. — KMAB] |

And yet, it’s a happier fact of human behavior that all tribes are separated less by walls than by membranes, and those membranes can break and the tribes combine as easily as two raindrops running down a windshield that need merely touch to merge. But something must make the touching happen — and not many things can. |

And if it made us small? If it made us feel that we are of less consequence, less magnitude, than we usually think we are? Well, good. Humility was part of the veil of peace that was drawn over the country on Aug. 21. So was community. And so, it would be nice to think, was gratitude. |

— Jeffrey Kluger |
From his article: “Mother Nature, the uniter, briefly eclipses the nation’s divisions“ |
