As Covid eases and the weather warms I have more reason to venture outside, which means interacting with other people. OLLI will find me physically present two days a week instead of one. And I like to sit at the table, mask off, while I sip coffee before class or sometimes nibble complimentary paper bags of popcorn afterwards. As my annoyance with my synagogue, and probably all synagogues, I might find myself there more frequently. The library has opened. I relax on a metal bench at Tally Day Park or a green wooden one at Bonsall Park. During OLLI's intercession I have a two night getaway planned.
I feel more in circulation. With it, I am starting to feel more cheerful, though a long way from fully so. While I despise pretense, perhaps I should take advantage of the circumstances to focus just a tad more on image, appearance, and cordiality. Less clothing rewearing, maybe. Comb hair, perhaps even cut. Keep beard more attended. Resume wearing a tie to shul. Little things. Things that I will notice more than anyone I meet.
