Like everyone else, ecp spends a little time on the year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic, reluctantly. Back to work, sort of. Excited and optimistic but aware of the perpetual danger and doom. A little time on ecp's own walk with the virus in early February. Curious about when and how people move out of Zoom and into real life. And unbelievable singing by Patti LaBelle. That's what's happening, baby.
