ReplyDeletelove experiencing this vicariously ... but with every intention of never, but never, experiencing it firsthand (ha!)
ReplyDeleteMC, LA & P - this post seems such an age ago - time in this pandemic period seems to be stretching. MC - a buzz to enjoy at the time and look back on. LA - I'm sure you would enjoy it once up in the air. P - wow indeed. All - go well. B
