Yesterday marked 14 days after my second Pfizer shot for COVID-19. I’m now as full of antibodies as I’ll ever be. So I got to go into a coffee shop and sit down with a latté and a book, one of my favorite retired-guy activities, something I haven’t been able to do for more than a year. Not yet back to the way things were. Tables spaced far apart, some people masked some not, gotta admit It wasn’t quite the thrill it might have been.
