         grocery stores that offer “senior” shopping hours
         and the kindness of a neighbor, we’ve been able to                                   laugh!
         keep the larder stocked.  And, we have increased
         our restaurant dining (via pick-up), to help local res-
         taurants survive.  Marge has made masks for us
         from an online pattern, so we are “legal” (and pro-
         tected) on the few occasions that we go out.               Is The Quarantine Causing

         We’ve also made greater use of Amazon and other
         online shopping sites than in the past, purchasing              You to Gain Weight?
         some items that we typically would have sourced
         from nearby “bricks and mortar” retailers.  Second-
         hand book purchases, online library services like
         Hoopla, RBdigital, Flipster and Press Reader and
         our Amazon Prime membership have provided a
         steady source of entertainment.

         How about you?  What changes have your made in
         your life as a result of our novel Coronavirus?  Do
         you see any of these as possibly permanent chang-
         es or do you expect that you will drop them as soon
         as you are more confident about your safety (and
         those with whom you come in contact)?  Please
         drop me an email (president@lcace.org) to share
         information, concerns, tips, questions, etc.  I’ll sum-
         marize your responses in our June newsletter.

         To quote a famous line from the “Hill Street Blues”
         TV series, “Be careful out there!”

         to introduce to your organization. Expect your first
         conference to be awkward; even those accustomed
         to one-on-one video calls may find it confusing. You
         will most likely want to hold practice sessions, but
         the effort is worthwhile as there is much to gain.      TWO VIEWS ARE BETTER THAN ONE.
         Replacing a face-to-face meeting with a video con-
         ference means a 20-minute meeting lasts just 20
         minutes, instead of 30 to drive there, 20 to meet,
         and 30 to drive home, perhaps in ugly weather or
         traffic.
