Yikes. I started this post over a month ago. I'd decided I should have more of an "as I lived it" recounting of these times, and told myself that I was going to write down actual thoughts.

Like many, I was surprised when spectators were banned at the Arnold Sports Festival, several years ago, at the beginning of March 2020.
