What a difference a year can make. Back in March 2020 I wrote a bright-eyed and cheery post about my arrival in Denver after almost a decade in the Bay Area. I had been there for about two weeks and was very excited for my new life. At the time there were “only” 5,145 cases of covid-19 in the United States. That same day San Francisco, and surrounding counties, issued the first stay-at-home orders, which were expected to last only a few weeks. I felt like I had just escaped being stuck in a city I was ready to leave. Little did any of us realize that restrictions on life were about to become a semi-permanent fixture.
