Photo sketch 1: Caption: So awkward. Covid days. Creating the illusion of characters being in one room for a play I wrote took lots of Zoom coordination. The play streamed, and I was happier with some moments more than others--- Zoom is tricky. I always seem to over express myself because it's easy to feel isolated and not heard or seen by others on Zoom. I'll often try a joke and get no response, and I end up wishing I had just kept quiet. Zooming can be lonelier than being by yourself.

Today is Saturday, August 21, 2021. One of the worst things about the pandemic has been the travel restrictions. Today I'm returning to Connecticut (in a car) 🚗 from Fort Washington, Maryland. On Thursday, I took an Amtrack train 🚉 from Windsor, Connecticut to Washington, DC. I miss the act of traveling and I miss visiting people. This summer I was able to visit some people after more than a year of staying home. But, my family skipped a trip to Cape Cod, Massachusetts because the pandemic is getting worse again. Also, my Church suspended in person services starting tomorrow. School starts next week and one of the vaccines may receive non-emergency approval soon. I'll be glad when the pandemic is behind us.
