Think back to when you were a kid. I surely can’t remember saying to my parents that I can’t wait to go to the doctor to get a shot. I surely can’t remember a time as an adult saying it either – until now. I’ve never been so excited in all my life. I’ve received my double vaccine dose, I’ve laminated my COVID card, and I can finally rid myself of those awkward elbow bumps and start hugging and handshaking again.
In Louisiana, all residents are now eligible for the vaccine if you’re 16 and over, even without any underlying conditions. I sincerely hope that your state is almost there, if not there already. Last night, my team and I attend a business banquet for the first time in over a year. I’ve never been so excited to attend a banquet. Despite the sign on the door of the event center of the hotel that said “By the ordnance of the Mayor of the City of Baton Rouge, you must wear a mask,” masks were flying off the minute they started passing around the cheap screw top wines through the crowd. And then the Mayor walked in. But she didn’t say a word. She mingled with the crowd, wearing her mask, and looked dignified doing so. |
