Kicking back after another long day in the (proverbial) office last Thursday, my mind suddenly recalled what day it was. After months of the unusual becoming the usual, something totally out of the ordinary was happening: Major League Baseball was back.
It was months later than expected and involved teams I don’t care for in a sport I typically only tune in to for short bursts on rare occasions when the TV guide is notably short on content, but baseball was back on my TV screen. I cracked open an ice cold beverage, kicked back and for a few minutes completely forgot we were still, after several months, in the midst of a pandemic.
