Last season (2019) I had been very tempted to take a year off from Atomic Football. There was a lot going on in my life, and I desperately needed a break. However, being the hopelessly persistent and committed person that I am, I pushed through.
This year (2020), my need for a break has easily doubled, and, as fate would have it, I was offered up a pandemic. Not what I had in mind, but life can be funny-sad that way.
So, I get my year off.
For people around the world, the accelerating pandemic made April a month like no other. For me, however, the most life-changing part of that month had nothing to do with a virus.
But it did have something to do with a diagnosis.
And suddenly, I learned that 98% of humans are not like I thought they were.
