Yes. We know. COVID sucks.  My kids are sick of me saying "this is all so (you can use your own adjective) weird."  Let's all agree that this whole year has been a total shit show. For everyone.

Will people act how they used to in grocery stores? Not standing 6 feet apart? Afraid? Will there be live music in an open air stadium or arena? When will restaurants be packed with banter and pleasantries as a regular thing to do? When will we be a mask-less society? When wil
