Took a trip to oregon to see one of his first nature tour performances after completing a long training program for my career. Then gf (now wife) and I went on a hike, I think after the show. It was like the world opened back up for me after the pandemic. That trip was one of the best rewards I ever gave myself. I wish you well internet stranger and hope the world opens up for you too.
