I do wish you could be in Boston (I wish I could be in Boston!), but oh well. Your mom's a fortunate woman. I wonder where my son might take me? He knows I'm fond of Popeyes.

An email's free and might do some good. Fwiw, here in very red GA where few mask I barely need both hands to count how many times I've eaten inside in the past year, but I chose restaurants with empty tables and asked to be sat away from others, and each time been quietly accommodated without being served up a ration.

Carry on.
