Boomer Magazine: April 2020

As I write this, the world is suffering from a pandemic. COVID-19 seems to have affected all of us in one way or another. Although I don’t have any school-aged children, my adult kids are still afraid. The only reassurance I can give them is to do the best they can and follow what the CDC says—wash your hands often (forget hoarding TP, I want hand lotion—my hands are sooo dry from washing them so much!) and social distance as much as you can without isolating yourself—unless you are sick. But they seem to be more worried about my husband and me who are both over 65. I am thinking of getting a fake ID showing that I’m only 64 (or perhaps younger…might as well give 55 another go). I don’t want people judging me for leaving my house! I’m healthy and keep away from those who aren’t and follow the guidelines. I don’t want my kids to worry. But there is one thing we can all do while we’re home hiding under our beds. And that is to READ! This magazine, for one, has tons of interesting articles. Keep in mind that almost all of the editorial was written before the pandemic landed in our area, so please check the websites of any event, restaurant, or business that we’ve discussed to see if they are open or have shortened hours. If you can, visit the local shops and anywhere that is open—we must do our part to help the economy. Small businesses are the lifeblood of any community and ours is no exception. So, shop if you can, dine out if you can, and if you can’t then order in! Many places are offering delivery and takeout. Take advantage!
