Music floatin' on the air... ...first time I heard it in a month or two of Sundays. Now I am not necessarily gregarious, but I had to head out to see where it was coming from. What surprised me was the joy that rose within me. It even sounded...beautiful. Signs of life and hope in spite of all efforts to the contrary. I made it a point to find out, and even tho' I would normally not be caught dead downtown (never was my schtick) I will go to that place some evening and raise a beer in appreciation that someone broke the grip.  Making note in order to INTENTIONALLY give these folks business, that are the harbingers of the reopening, the transition back to even better things. I will not buy the [DS] hype or cower in the covidiocy. Eff the new normal.
