So many of you are artists! Yay!

I'm a "bipolar" loner. I roller coaster between introvert and extrovert.

We have our home on acreage in the country, so been able to isolate. It is now being hemmed in on both sides...after 30 years!... by trumpers!

"Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...stuck in the middle...".

Oh well. Otherwise, hubby and I are doing fine. He retired JUST as this started. I already worked mostly at home, and now exclusively. I even go to my court hearings (I "facilitate" self-representing parties - help them navigate the court system) from home!

I have started leading a check-in Zoom group one evening a week with my progressive Unitarian fellowship. It fills a hole. Pandemic levels the playing field - I rarely was able to engage with them due to my distance from town; now we are all connecting remotely! Love those folks - can always rely on being on the same (liberal / left / progressive) page politically, which I appreciate.

Hi to all!
