If you have not figured out how to use Zoom but know how to access the internet, you can get basic Zoom training from AARP by clicking on a YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVBPncrz_y8&feature=youtu.be

A free sing-along group meets on Zoom on Thursdays, 7:30-9:00 p.m.  The group use to meet in person at the Chai House.  There are a couple of songbooks to help singers remember the words which can be ordered on Amazon if you like the group.  What the group does is:  The leader is un-muted, and the rest of the attendees sing along (muted) at home.  It’s less satisfying than being together, but it does give that boost that singing familiar music does for the soul.  If you are interested, please contact Nancy at Nancy_Tepperman@yahoo.com, to be put on the email list.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything.

My doctor was giving me a hard time about my health. To get back on his good side, I bought a puppy and named him ‘Five Miles’.

That way, when I went to see my doctor, I could tell him, “I walk five miles every morning!”

The COVID-19 situation has been especially stressful for the Flat Earth Society. They fear that social distancing could push people over the edge.

P.S. I bet they’re really excited about flattening the curve, though.
