Friday, March 12, 2021. Two weeks since my second shot. I finish a midday Zoom and stick my head out the back door. One hubcap-sized slab of ice remains on the patio. It’ll be gone by sundown.
Thus encouraged, I perform a strange series of actions: I slip my laptop into its sleeve, slip my office keys into my pocket and slip out the front door, bound for downtown State College. My big plan is to get a coffee and sit outside and drink it.
En route, I stop by the Carnegie Building to get my mail: two magazines that I probably won’t read. I add them to the pile of unread magazines on my office desk.
