It seems like the times they are a changin’, finally. We’ve continued our online learning. We had signed up for a semester of Swing University through Jazz at Lincoln Center We were introduced to the history of jazz, many new musicians & fine instructors. The Municipal Art Society NYC (MASNYC) virtual tours have been outstanding & whetted our appetites for our next adventure in NYC. And, I’ve enjoyed several NY Transit Museum presentations.
We’ve been getting out but now we can do even more & meet with our vaccinated friends. Having two Pfizer vaccinations in our arms has made us feel safer, yet we are still cautious.
As David Brooks wrote in his NY Times column on April 2, 2021 (thanks Mary M. for suggesting we read this column), “I’ve found I’ve burned out on my screens, burned out about the politicization of everything, and have rediscovered my love for the New York Mets. People who have endured an era of vulnerability emerge with great strength. I’m also convinced that the second half of this year is going to be more fantastic than we can imagine right now. We are going to become hyper-appreciators, savoring every small pleasure, living in a thousand delicious moments, getting together with friends and strangers and seeing them with the joy of new and grateful eyes.”
Look carefully at the signs that follow because some are hard to find in the photos.
