The Zoom sounds like a great idea.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'd be interested, but I know that I'm a logistical outlier.

I would like to join, too!
Living 'my life in fear' is basically what I've been doing all along, so I am well practiced at managing such awful uncertainty.
For historical reasons if anybody comes back to reread about us during the Pandemic and election, et cetera, I'd like to mention that yesterday Moderna announced their competing vaccine proved 94.5% effective in trials, so we have two good vaccines coming online in not all that long a time away, and also we're going to be getting rational national leadership installed on January 20th of this coming year, so two months off.
Managing fear is a lot easier when you know you can take effective steps yourself, and that external factors are moving to relieve the situation. I wonder how much of the "I won't live in FEAR!" reaction is jumping directly into hopelessness rather than dealing.

Punishingly Intricate
Clarified with my ER doc friend that our tday plan with my folks is to eat outside on their porch and she gave us the ok to do that.

I created a Doodle for The Nilly Zoom, but can anyone please confirm which hours they're seeing outside of Israel? (I can't change timezones to test that on work computer). [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm also interested in a Nilly Zoom.
Shir, your post is marked 5:03 a.m. PST. As I write this, it's a little after 8 a.m. in the Eastern U.S.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Thanks, Fred - I didn't mean the hours here on the board, I meant the times presented in Doodle (first option is set to 20:00 PM, Israel time). I wonder if they adjust automatically to where you are, or if I should change it an American timezone.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Apologies for the confusion. I've voted, and the Doodle shows 1:00 to 2:30 and 2:30 to 4:00 New York time.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
So happy to hear the technology actually works. Thanks for confirming!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I would LOVE a Nilly Zoom!!
Good morning, by Buffistas. I have showered, had (having) coffee, and am getting ready for another day of virtual teaching.
I'm exhausted already. And with the Big Move to our new house happening in a few weeks and my side gig starting before the end of the month, I'm on a trajectory to never rest again.
