It’s good logistically too. Just get it done rather than have some ever growing list of people you have to go back and do later.

I thought my husband’s BFF was a tool when he got infected.

2 reasons

1. He’s a beer man as in going into bars. But he didn’t wear a mask for months (until the company said, wear a mask.) It was just a matter of time until he got infected and, because my hubster loves him like a brother, I’m glad he _only_ had a week of fever/headache etc… this guy could have had really serious side effects since he has Marfans.

and

1. they as BFFs have raced both straight and circle track together… not all tools are useful all of the time. But I guess… all of these years… these 2 work well together. 40ish years?

Tool is my jokey way of being glad he did not pass this on to my husband or me.
