Dear Friends
On this first full day of summer after the summer
solstice, Kathleen and I have just finished breakfast, having had fried eggs, (sunny
side up), washed down with Sunny-D orange juice, all the while singing that old favorite,
“Here comes the sun.” And because it is Sunday, we had sundaes for dessert,
because life is short so why wait because you never know what the future holds.
Speaking of “you never know what the future holds”, we are now planning and
expecting to have dinner tonight, subject to change. It’s really up in the air,
a half hour to half hour decision. It depends on what stage Monterey County
will be in at that point and what we are able/allowed to do at that time. We’ll
have to look at and study the numbers. What we will have for dinner, if we do
have dinner, is unknown at this time, depending on what is available at the
grocery store.
And yet, in the meantime, we are going ahead and
planning and hoping to drive to the grocery store (our weekly “date drive”)
assuming nothing changes between now and dinnertime, while understanding things
might change and so we are prepared to come up with alternate plans, subject to
change, unless we are in the stage by tonight that allows us to go out to
dinner without a mask, although we might still have reservations, being over
65, although we are unaware of any underlying conditions, but how would be know since they are underlying and therefore out of sight, out of mind, which you may be thinking I am right now, but I'm not unless you ask Kathleen.
Certainly we wish things were not so uncertain, but
one thing is for certain; we will find a way to have dinner, unless we decide
to skip it and wait for breakfast on Monday, assuming we get through the night
and the sun comes up on the second full day of summer.
Happy Father’s Day too!
John
