[Surnetkids] Snow

Dear Reader,

The first Covid-19 vaccine has been approved, and I’m starting to imagine what life might be like as we start to recover. It’s wonderful to be making progress, but we still have a long road ahead of us. I, for one, will be taking the vaccine as soon as it is made available to me. Anyone else feeling both relief and concern about how we will all get from here to there?

See ya on the Net,
