This topic has been the focal point of all of our lives for the past 14 months.  It’s been an all consuming fire and a whirlwind at the same time.   To many of you, my wife and I were the only people you knew that had Covid 19.   There are multiple ways of looking at our lives in this era and varied viewpoints on the policies, remedies and messaging.  Whether necessary or not, I am going to keep wearing the high quality masks I’ve been wearing to jobs.  And when not dealing with sharp objects, I will wear gloves.  It’s business equipment for me; it’s part of my routine.  I have been operating – business as usual – since May 17, 2020, one year ago.  Today, I am declaring a new day.  For my own state of mind and well being, I am leading by example and changing the subject.   Going forward, I am not going to be engaging in any “Covid or Vax talk” in this newsletter or at appointments.  I would most sincerely appreciate it if you could do the same, at least around me.
