Today is Saturday, March 20, 2021. Deaths from the Coronavirus in the U.S. are: 541,037. A few states are opening back up without mask mandates. I'm still not vaccinated, but hopefully by May or June. In the past several months, I've been in touch with a few people from my past, a friend of my father's from the late 60s early 70s named Matthew. I'll tell you about Matthew and his stories about Riley in the second part of this blog. I also connected with a writer, John Whalen.
