Little by little some normality returns to life. Yesterday, it was Easter with the family. Today it was breakfast with a friend and lunch with another. On both occasions we commented that, though it had been a year since we met, once we were back together it was as if we'd never been separated. Dinner tonight is scheduled with family members. For all involved in the todays events there is the good fortune of coming through the year intact. Obviously, many have not been so fortunate.
Downton Minneapolis, the site of my condo, is radically transformed since I left a year ago in March. The pandemic and working from home means few people in the offices, on the sidewalks or streets. Recently there was an article in the Minneapolis paper about commerce in the Skyway system. The Skyways are 10 miles of second story walkways linking downtown buildings. Prior to the pandemic the Skyways were full of people at noon and there were endless places to eat and shop. Hardly any commercial activity remains.
What does the future hold? Who knows? If the office buildings refill commerce will return to the Skyway. What is the timeline? Again, who knows? As for me and my dog, we'll divided our time between the condo and The Little House. Of all persons, I may be the most blessed!
