Feel a deep sigh of relaxation. Go ahead have another. Another deep sigh of relaxation. Two weeks have elapsed since my second and final shot, vaccination shot. I am in the clear. People around me are also sliding into their waiting periods and emerging, ready to go and meet people, actual live people, again. My wife will be at her book club for the next meeting. I will join up with the Southwest Gentleman’s Association for us to raise beers and talk about having made it through the months of well you know what it was like for people. We are all waking up and ready to meet again. It will be our reentry into normal living. We will all breathe deeply.
I asked Kent how his new home was, we have read quite a bit about the place, was it hilly or flat. My home town is not flat. Not monstrously hilly but if I leave the house I am going either up or down. Close to me, where close means two and a half miles away, is a volcano errr volcanic cinder cone. It is one of thirty-two cinder cones in a thirteen mile radius. It is an extinct volcano. But it and they provide some rises to get over when you are out and about in the neighborhoods. I got that tidbit when I was making sure that the volcano was indeed extinct. I do not know where I heard the rumor that it was not extinct but I did from someone somewhere. You know how rumors work. Be nice if it were true. Anyway, Mt Tabor is about 600 feet in elevation we are at 175 feet. Not a huge climb to make but a nice one. I have bicycled and walked over Mt Tabor. It is on my list of things to do this summer. In the meantime I slip down rabbit holes and wish for flat areas here, that is to say, I wish we were on a flat area which we are not.
There were some thoughts rolling around in my brain. It seems they have gone off to someplace for a return to normal life.
