Welcome to the conversation. This is that matter podcast. My name is John Harris sitting

here this morning at the beginning of a new week with a fresh blanket of snow outside so we had some really warm weather I said

I think in the last podcast I mean it was getting up to like it was touching 50 it was

like 52 degrees on Saturday and the ice was melting the

snow was melting and it just you started feeling like spring was on its way

and then you wake up the next morning, Sunday morning, and there's like

four inches of snow, something like that, so, and it got a little colder so that

snow is still out there, but it's very pretty out there this morning and I am

I'm getting better a little bit better every day this COVID thing is weird because

got these these quirky things that don't usually aren't attributed to a flu or

associated with the flu is It's like ear pain and that's gone. But change of smell and taste, that's actually more stabilized itself now. it's like every day it's a little

better with congestion but it's not quite there and so I've talked to a few people

little bit maybe I'll include some in this

podcast but I went out twice last week the first time for a walk the second time for an
