    I sometimes forget that Covid is still a thing, until I get the dreaded “I tested positive” text from a friend I hung out with recently. After 5 years, our society seems to forget that there was a time we weren’t allowed to leave our homes without a mask and hand sanitizer. A time when

    Top of the morning to ya! It’s St. Patrick’s Day and I’m wearing green and drinking cold tea. I can hear my downstairs neighbor violently coughing.
