Not Quite a motss.con iii (via Zoom)
On Sunday, October 24, 2021, the soc.motss.con bunch had another Zoom
call.
In honor of Halloween, we decided to hold another Zoom call. We
had 17 people over the course of the four hours. I had fun catching
up, and it seemed like others did too. Discussion topics (as I
wrote them down, but not necessarily in chronological order)
included:
- Zoom working
- Pets and travel
- Eyes and surgeries
- COVID vaccines and boosters (many had rx to third shot)
- Sportsball (post-season baseball costs)
- TV shows we're watching... and producing
- Zoom backgrounds
- Commonwealths: MA, PA, KY, & VA
- Who's visited which states (and airport transits don't
count)
- Traveling
- Opera
- Hurricanes, bomb cyclones, and climate change
- Working the election
- Flu shots, mono, and other health things
- Cost of living in various places
- motss.con in Omaha? (~600 DTW-OMA r/t first)
- Housing (e.g., NOLA post pandemic), rental homes, etc.
- Empty nesting (once the kids are gone and before the parents
need more hands-on care)
- Halloween costumes
- Weather changes
- Alaska, arctic circle, auroras, sunlight
- Downsizing (to be nomadic, to move into assisted living,
...)
- motsseurs not on FB, other venues (Yahoo!, MeWe, Twitter,
Instagram, LinkedIn)
- Kids growing up
- Continuing these (frequency, venue, and host discussions)
