Maybe opening everything just yet is Jumping The Gun. I know we all want to get things back to normal.
You know when you instinctively stab the elevator button five times in hopes that ... Whatever. I want to just STAND on the Normal Button and jump up down a bunch. I know it will help, if I do it right.
During my music business touring years, going into Canada was a nightmare. Canadian border security officers, "This will take a while. We have to record all the serial numbers of all the electrical equipment you intend to bring into the country. By the tiem they saw about a tenth of what it took for us to take our show on the road, thay just recorded the serial numbers of our guitars.
Coming back was bad, too. US Customs were not happy to see us and made it clear we were a problem they have to face, made sure we knew we were interrupting something very important, like a German sausage sandwich, most likely. "So just make it easy on both of us. Just show us where the drugs are and well be done here!" Rude bastards, all.
I want it to all go back to the way it used to be as well, but my recent doctor visits made it "crystalline" that things are definitely NOT there yet.
Take the ten minute interview before I could even be offered a questionnnaire to fill out (which took much longer) as a sign that we all have much more work to
do before we can even figure out what normal is going to look like.
