Impressions
I know everyone is doing the best they can during this strangest and annus horribilis ( Latin for horrible year ), but we are a social people and we need to be around each other for our mental health . I am “ virtualled out ” and can ’ t wait to go to a meeting in person , or a CE course or a concert or a theater ( which are currently going virtual ) or a sporting event . I missed my Journey / Pretenders concert in July and my Pittsburgh Steelers and Pitt Panthers started the year 2-0 without a fan in the stadium ! I know this won ’ t last forever . The combination of a vaccine and better treatments for the disease will hopefully be right around the corner . Maybe then “ virtual ” can be the exception rather than the norm .
I hope to see you all soon-in person ! — STR3
