Things as they Are

Things seemed to be looking up back in June, when school was ending and summer was starting. Oh sure, there were warnings about the Delta variant and the delay in the vaccine for kids younger than 12, but still... there were also blue skies and a couple of months to get it all sorted out. I crossed my fingers for a full, maskless reopening. 

One of our big summer plans was to return to seeing movies on the big screen, but at first we were traveling, and then there wasn't much to see, and then most recently, theaters didn't seem quite as safe or fun as they did a couple of months ago. So last night, we paid to watch Black Widow on TV (which compared to the screens we had growing up, is pretty big), and it was a really good summer movie: fun and funny with lots of action and girl power. 

But, spoiler alert: Natasha Romanoff is still dead, and recent guidance from the school system has made it clear that masks are still required, and we won't be going to the movies anytime soon.
