So, apparently there’s some sort of virus going around it’s shutting down a lot of local businesses. My volunteer tax prep work, ukulele classes, adult Ed classes, and gym visits are all currently canceled.

This morning, I went through my contact list and made a list of people I’ve done a crappy job of keeping in touch with. I called four of them today, and emailed five others.

I spent a little over three hours this morning having really delightful conversations with people on the phone,and catching up on things.

This tip is probably not much help of you for you who are good at maintaining your long distance relationships. Made for a very nice morning for me though.

Lovely!!

We're planning some Skype dates with friends, I'm going to see how well it works to do a little piano for them during that.

I was thinking about the same, reaching out to people I haven't talk to for a while just to check how they are doing. I just got around to sending a bunch of text message and some emails to that effect. Still have a few more to go, I think.

Found that my AA group in Colorado is having virtual meetings.
Will be joining them from Tucson.
