Staring at the floor

In the past year, I have spent approximately 6 full days staring at the floor. I've seen all kinds of floors. Carpet. Hardwood. Rugs. Fritztile Terrazzo. Here are a few:

I've even spent time staring at decks, patios, parking lots, and tee boxes. I've seen them all very close-up ... from 2 feet to less than 2 inches away. 

Yep, more than 70,000 Push-Ups a year gives you lots of time to stare at the floor.

COVID-19 vaccine - shot #2

On March 24, 2020, as the spread of the COVID-19 virus was escalating, the Shawnee County Health Department issued a Safer at Home Order directing all non-essential workers to stay home in hopes of slowing the spread of the deadly virus. Confusion, anger, and fear immediately followed.

Exactly one year later, on March 24, 2021, I received my second shot of the Pfizer vaccine.

A lot has happened in the last year. While confusion about the virus still abounds, more than 46,000,000 Americans have now been fully vaccinated ... approximately 14% of our population. We still have a long way to go, but some sense of normalcy might be on the horizon.
