Back in January, I honestly believed I would not be eligible for vaccination until early Fall. [View all]

Maybe late Summer if I was really lucky.

And that was my thinking even taking into account the new administration coming in.

It's not even May and I've received both my shots. Signed up for an open water swim event next month that I wouldn't have dreamed of competing in if I wasn't vaccinated.

Do I give credit President Biden's leadership in helping to make this happen?

You damn well better believe I do.
