Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Well, I wonder how happy it will be--for you, for me, for anybody. In a sad irony, my city--New York--and many others shut down on this day last year. The day before last St. Pat's was the last time I set foot on campus, and some shops have yet to open.
Once again, the parade will not be held in person. But, I hope to go for a ride later today. This old Irish blessing captures the spirit of cycling for me:
May your troubles be less
and your blessings be more
and nothing but happiness
come through your door.

P.S. I got my first dose the other night.
