Down On The Corner

By Paul Moffett

I repeat from my last column: 2020 is past. Now to await the passage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please note that it is not over and is not likely to be over for some time, so mind the scientists: practice social distancing, wear a mask and take the vaccine when it's available. We'd just as soon not have another player go down.

Also, avoid bars and clubs for now. Better to be inconvenienced than deceased.
