An Encouraging Equinox (3/20/21) After a long, gloomy year, John & Jessica are in high spirits at last. John is now a Grammy Award-winner, he’s previewing his new album, and travel will resume soon. John earned his Grammy as co-producer of James Taylor’s “American Standard” album. His own new album, “Better Days Ahead,” featuring songs written by Pat Metheny, will be released April 16. And his travel plans include long drives with Jess, which will always include a trip to the car wash. Soon a crocus will rear its beautiful head, the ice on the lake will be melted, and the car will be packed and ready to go, all because spring begins at the moment of the vernal equinox, Saturday morning at 5:37 EDT, and, of course, the COVID vaccine.
