We're going to a very small ski mtn today to have a drink and apps on the deck. Like I said the place is small very limited seating and you need reservations. It's still slow before leaves start changing so gonna do it now before we probably don't want to.
are you feeling nervous about going? I don’t know if I’m ready yet or if it’s worth taking the chance. One semi normal night sure would be nice.

I'm going to assess that when I get there.....this is not what you'd think of if I said ski resort. Everything is a calculated risk.
last weekend I walked by one of the more popular restaurants near me. They’ve expanded their patio out to take the curb side lane. It’s quite large, but it looks like they’ve used the extra space to add tables rather than more space between them.

I thought about going to Niagara Falls for the weekend but still have the problem of where do you eat.

Normal is a major casualty of this pandemic. I wait to see where normal ends up. Locally I’m not ready to risk a restaurant or bar.
“Large chance of having a good time” added to “small but real chance of giving or getting the next serotype” always computes No for me.
Find another way to celebrate. Stay safe. Stick around. I like you.

Have fun! Everyday is a calculated risk these days. I am going to try to go to the art museum tomorrow. I think that it’s so important to keep your sanity and stay mentally healthy After so long of not participating in society it just becomes unbearable. I went on a trip out of state, stayed in a hotel, took multiple Uber rides, visited restaurants and met with many people to return home and take a Covid test with negative results . I have been struggling in so many ways I am not going to continue to imprison myself if I can do some things in a safe manner where all guidelines are set appropriately . The museum has timed tickets and limits the crowd. Everyone has to wear a mask and it is a No Touch Experience with elimination of physical ticket interactions. Signage will be in place for social distancing.
we have to learn to live with this virus in a safe way or we won’t be mentally healthy .

Pack fried chicken and potato salad. Almost nothing better for a solitary picnic! Oh yes and PLENTY of wine

Not fair. Florida man is forbidding the release of any data showing either public school or college's from reporting test results.

Their numbers would certainly be shocking.

I know you're right... just thinking that a night out might help get over the blues of missing yet another celebration this year.

I like you guys too. Y'all have become a major part of my social circle since the start of covid. :hug: how lame am I lol.

I've done the library and museum a couple of times since they've reopened, it didn't feel any worse than the grocery store. I haven't been to a restaurant or bar though except drive-thru for crappy fast food... the whole no mask thing makes me a little anxious especially if they're close to you. I gave up using transit, which sucks 'cause it's so convenient. I've probably driven more in the past six months than I did in the previous three years.

That's not a bad idea... you got me thinking, I know the perfect spot a short drive away that's totally secluded and you have to hike in. I could hide a cooler there earlier and make her think we're just going for a walk.

Wait, you think you’re lame for calling RIU a major part of your social circle since Covid started?

What does that make me then? RIU has been a major part of my social circle since 2010.....

Not lame at all. This forum has been a major part of my life for a decade plus. Speaking of new normals and whatnot… a decade ago it was "watch out for strangers on the internet" and online dating was both dangerous and embarrassing. But the reality is the internet is just a new way to meet people you wouldn't have met due to geographic restrictions ,etc… while practicing common sense of course. I've made lifelong friends here that have been here every step of the way for marriage, birth, vacations, death, advice. What I'm trying to say is I love you guys and want to have your babies.
