This isn’t an original thought from me, but I want to share it anyway.

It’s that I am feeling kinda/sorta “normal” wearing my mask when I venture out there, mingling with total strangers.

Example: My wife and I went to the grocery store this morning. We drove to the store. Parked the truck. Reached instinctively for the masks. Slipped the thing on over my puss. We walked in. Did our shopping and returned home.

No problem.

Indeed, the sight of masks on virtually everyone’s faces also is looking normal. Those who walk around without facial covering — which is allowed these days — well, they look a bit, um, abnormal.

You know what? I am going to quit referring to this mask-wearing stage as the “new normal.” It’s looking quite normal to me.
