Since the pandemic began, have you felt more connected to the community you live in? Less connected? About the same? Talk about what, if anything, has changed.

I’ve been less connected. This seems to bother others more than me. I always said that I could live alone in a lighthouse. I like cooking and finery with recipes to make them more healthy. I’ve developed bran muffins and banana chia muffins. I spent my summers as a Bell Telephone operator and worked my way through grad school working switchblade for an answering service. I have to force myself to call anyone. I only use my cellphone and my ground line phone is an answering machine. I text people and we set up a time to talk or see each other.
