I'm counting down the days until I am fully vaccinated and compiling this hopeful 'To Do' list that seemed more like pipe dreams just a short time ago.

My mind has been consumed by different variables of proper air ventilation within the window of time of 15 minutes no matter where I have gone.

The finish line of early May now shines brighter than the sun itself!

It is still possible to get infected by COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated, but the studies done on those who have contracted it have shown very little to moderate symptoms.

The number of fully vaccinated Granite Staters as well as people with COVID-19 anitbodies are bound to finally create the elusive 'herd immunity' that we've all wished for, for what seems like years.

I know one thing for sure

Whether I'm climbing a small hill without 'No-Mask Guilt' or swilling down cocktails in my suit on the banks of the mighty Piscataqua, I will never take any of these things for granted for a long, long time.
