I had hoped by this message the worst of the pandemic was over, kids had returned to school mask-free, businesses thriving, and good health celebrated. Unfortunately, that is not yet the case. At the time of this writing, COVID-19’s Delta variant is raising havoc on our lives. Our hearts go out to all who have lost loved ones or have experienced the disease themselves.
