Go and see your family on Thanksgiving. Yes, even if you have to travel out of state to do it. In case youre wondering, yes, Ive heard of the pandemic, and yet I repeat: Go see your family on Thanksgiving.
Last Tuesday, Mayor Bill de Blasio urged New Yorkers not to travel for the holidays to see their family members. Two weeks earlier, Hizzoner had skipped Columbus Day celebrations in the city, because, according to his spokesperson, the mayor is out of state visiting family today.
Never mind getting angry about his hypocrisy. Just do as de Blasio did not as he said.
Look, weve made some major mistakes in our handling of the COVID-19 crisis, and the main one has been discarding everything that makes our lives worth living out of fear of the virus. The pandemic has the potential to destroy our way of life if we keep dismissing everything important to us. Family is important. We shouldnt forget that.

Thats where my only child lives. She had the good sense to move there before the USA became an international pariah. .

Dismiss the pandemic to show how important our way of life is, we can always continue visiting our family in the cemetery.
Or we can keep the urn collection on our mantle.
