I'm becoming a hermit. Like so many others, I still mask and travel only to the grocery store. It sure is boring but it beats the alternative if I pick up this horrible affliction. I have several health issues, add Covid and I'm toast. I guess being a hermit is not so bad. I have a great stack of books to keep me occupied.
