These are chancy and dangerous times. Each of us has dealt with the nagging peril and uncertainty in our own way. I am lucky. My family and I have been able to get by largely unscathed in the face of a capricious and deadly virus that hovers like a gray pall, a constant reminder that our good fortune can end in an instant.
