Small moments of grace add to simple pandemic joys

This is a white-crowned sparrow. Roy Peter Clark says a squad of sparrows often appears when he and his wife are enjoying coffee and muffins at Craft Kafe in St. Petersburg. On Black Friday, one was particularly interested in the cranberry/almond muffin. [ MARGARET ENG | AP ]

It was Black Friday, and Karen and I had no interest in shopping. As usual, about 11 a.m. we had settled into a favorite downtown coffee shop. Before the pandemic we could eat inside, but now tables were well separated under a 40-foot open-sided atrium. I counted about 30 patrons, well spread out.
