Hello, friends; it’s been a while. Seventy-seven days, or 10 Tuesdays, have passed since our last Rotary meeting. That equates to roughly 10,000 Alexander’s calories unconsumed per member. That is also 10 times that I did not have to use my catlike reflexes to cover my drink from Landry sneaking in with the tea pitcher to top off my already-full cup. To state the obvious: COVID-19 has been rough from the Rotarian perspective.

It’s harder to keep in touch with people these days. Things are opening up, but it’s going to be a while before we hop in a car and visit people the way we used to.
