Yesterday, we were going to hear and see an old friend of the club’s, Marty Gervais, the former poet laurate of Windsor! Wow! What a day that would have been, except for the pandemic!
We never had that meeting. But, there was other news! Ford announced that places of worship could open, across Ontario. So, the churches started to prepare for opening. However, I was told that I had to stay home because my health is compromised. I’ll stay home and do what I’m told (Those are words that I never thought I’d say – before now, it was much more likely to be ‘full speed ahead’).
Recently, I’ve written about the ‘new normal’ and what I think we all can expect. But, today it’s starting to happen, social distancing and all. The leaders of the various synagogues, mosques and churches, are all taking every precaution they can to keep us all safe, just as our health leaders have taught us – be cautious!
Right now, there seems to be something else in the air. There is a sense of urgency, of perhaps, necessity, to open, or at least, partially open restaurants in Windsor – with or without the nod from Government, Provincial or Federal. A restaurant owner was on TV news last night, indicating that enough was enough, that it had become an issue of survival for her business and for many others like her’s.  
Time will tell, I guess we all will have to wait and see . . .
Stay safe, stay well, get some fresh air if you can, and keep smiling . . .
‘til we meet again . . .
