In honor of @rrchin's St. Patty's quiz, I ate a bowl of Lucky Charms for the first time in decades (purchased as "bait" for 6-y-o to use in leprechaun traps). It was as magically delicious as promised! startribune.com/from-green-bay…

Pres. Biden aims to have the country "closer to normal" by July 4, but there's no "on/off" switch for a pandemic. I'm curious: When will the pandemic be "over" for you? Does it happen in stages? What factors mark each shift as we emerge individually from a collective crisis?
Are there habits/practices you've adopted in the pandemic that you’d like to maintain when things return to “normal”? Do you anticipate it being difficult? Email me at rachel.hutton(at)startribune(dot)com if you'd like to share your thoughts on the subject. Thx!
