In March 2020 instead of going to the A10 basketball tournament in Brooklyn, me and my friend Jim went for a bike ride on the C&O Canal.
We’d made the plans over dinner in late February.COVID was in the news before we left but wasn’t a thing. It was a reason to maybe not got to New York, but whatever.
On the 2nd or 3rd day we met some VCU kids on the trail on spring break who were stoked to get an extra week off all of a sudden. My wife texted me while we’re out there that my son’s school was closed for the rest of the week.
My phone blew up with a bunch of apocolytic headlines and when we got back to Cumberland they were getting ready for St. Patrick's Day and that felt weird. Next week I’m heading out to ride that same route and then some and am so keenly aware of the then and now.
