As America crawls its way out of the hole that Covid-19 and the initial botched response dug, Julian and I have celebrated a few landmarks.
Vaccines? Check.
No more shopping at “old folks hours?” Check, thankfully for Julian.
Social gatherings in our home and others? Check, with fellow vaccinated people.
Interstate travel? Check, for me.
Last night’s landmark was a trip to the Seattle Symphony. Benaroya Hall was about 10% capacity. We didn’t have our usual seats in a second tier box, as the concert was being live-streamed and the box contained cameras. Masks were required. We had our temperatures taken before our tickets were scanned. No food or beverage service. (No worries there – Julian kvetches about the bad coffee at Benaroya.) The orchestra was socially distanced, and the music didn’t require many brass or wind instruments. All in all, another baby step on the slow schlep back to normalcy.
