I take another picture, the world is waiting

Massachusetts is reopening and I have gone back to the glassy feeling of not quite being in the same reality as the people who are saying the words. "Tough times never last, tough people do." Well, good for the tough people. Shame about the rest of us. I don't expect a second spike of infections in the fall, I expect one by July at the latest. But I'm glad houses of worship are considered essential businesses in Massachusetts. I'm sure that ancestor of mine from the Puritan migration would be thrilled.

I note, after going away and taking a walk and observing two families of goslings, I do think of you as tough; just not the sort of tough whatsisface meant.

Thank you. I think that's true. I can survive a lot of things, emotionally and logistically, and I have. I just can't survive being dead. And unless allergies really turn out to be a magic bullet, my odds with this virus still suck.
