Well, I have an anecdotal experience to share too.

Back in May, I was up in the Chicago area and had a minor procedure to remove a growth on my back. I have had him do several procedures over the years, so we know each other.

The Surgeon walked into the room without a mask on. He asked me if I was fully vaccinated, and I said I was. He told me I could take my mask off if I wanted to, and I did.

He put his surgical mask on while doing the procedure. Stitched me up, dressed the wound, and took his mask off. Shook my hand, had a few laughs, and he left.
If you and he were both vaccinated, there wasn't much point to the masks.

I fly a lot. It annoys me to no end.
Yeah, this past weekend going to Seattle was more than I've worn a mask in a long time. Had to wear it in the airport and on the plane. Had to wear it on the light rail into the city. Had to wear it every time we got in an Uber. Had to wear it in a lot of the "public" things like the Chihuly glass museum, Museum of Pop Culture, and Space Needle. Definitely annoying.

Prior to this, I basically only wore it when I went into Costco / other stores, and that's ended here in CA since June 15.

Except for the Illinois mandate. :67:

Are you kidding?

I have them both convinced their being in our will is hanging by a thread.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Heh.  I told my parents that I'm doing fine, I don't need any of their money, they should spend it on themselves for as long as they can.

HOWEVER-- they better not become a burden to ME.  I don't ask a penny from them, they don't need to ask for a penny from me. 

Just kidding. :)

They're pretty well set, they've made good investments over the years, and the house they built in 1968 for $30,000 and paid off 40 years ago, is now worth close to a million.  So if they really needed money they could liquidate that.

It's unlikely they'll ever need anything from me.  But still, they better not blow it, and then ask me... ;)

My dad always said he wanted to be pushing his last twenty to the bartender as he took his last breath

My mom often said she wanted to take her sons' inheritance and buy the most expensive bottle of wine in the world

go out by the water and drink it

Heh, I like your folks.  That's basically what I told mine to do.  Use it while you can.  You can't take it with you, and I'm blessed enough not to need it.

All I know is that my siblings and I won't have to worry about fighting over our inheritance.
