I hadn’t smoked a cigar in nearly nine weeks, thanks to a mild Covid-19 case followed by weeks of lingering effects that have often left me exhausted, some days with headaches, sinus congestion and the lingering fear that the post-Covid symptoms could go on and on. But my future son-in-law James was here with my daughter Liz, and they had prepared a great meal for my wife and I, celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, something we had not been able to do in January while we were both sick with the virus.
