The closure of businesses,
schools, and houses of worship
has forced many of us to develop
ways to do things differently.
What changes in routines or
habits have you made that might
become permanent?
Haddonfield’s JOE
MURPHY has
become “much better
at using Skype,” and
has learned to Zoom.
“I’ll incorporate them
into my business,” he
says, “but they will
never replace faceto-face
discussions.”
Joe also is working
out and taking piano
lessons online, “for
the moment.”
HERB HESS of
Haddonfield
recently crafted a
birthday gift for his
son – “something
I haven’t done for
years.” Herb says he
enjoyed it, “so I plan
to spend more time
on things like that.”
JOHN and LINDA
STOKES of
Haddonfield are
desperate to dine
out again. “But when
we’re having drinks
with friends,” says
John,” I’ll probably
keep some of them
at arm’s length.”
Somerdale’s BEN
SANTORO says he
is working hard to
maintain his routine.
“I get up at the same
time, shower, shave,
have breakfast, read
the paper,” he says. “It
would be easy to turn
into a slug. Not me!”
JAMIE ORLANDO,
an audiologist from
West Deptford, says
that the increased
use of telehealth at
this time is proving
that “in-person visits
will be less necessary
in the future.” And the
success of distance
learning may mean
that snow days will
be a thing of the past.
“Sorry, kids!”
Homebound
college senior
COLE POLLACK,
of Haddonfield, has
developed a new
habit: riding a bicycle
every day. “I’m really
enjoying it,” Cole says.
“It’s something I will
keep doing, for sure.”
