So, it looks like weâre doing this. We are going to attempt to have a normal spring. Or semi-normal.
Now that we possess the knowledge, experience, foresight, face masks and, most of all, vaccines that we did not have a year ago, we are going to celebrate the spring that was denied us in 2020, a season that will be filled with baseball, picnics and, fingers crossed, perhaps even high school graduations.
Thatâs what weâre hoping for, anyway.
Despite winterâs frozen clutch of ice and gloom, itâs beginning to feel like maybe, hopefully, oh-please-let-it-be-so, we are turning the corner on the pandemic that has paralyzed us. Infection rates are declining and vaccinations are rising ever so slowly. Students are returning to classrooms and ball games are being played.
