I saw things posted here, which when really researched, were without foundation, but were so close till repeated to spread hatred, distrust or fear. I realized that it would be futile to answer some things. It would neither educate nor change certain minds. I'm sure you have had the feeling, sometimes, "just talk, don't let the facts get in your way."
One thing I can contribute today. The film, Trumbo, is wonderful. I suggest making every effort to see it. It is a painful piece of history. And is something we must prepare to avoid again.
What have I been up to? Well, being retired, living in an area where there are many young, religious people, with many children, I spend much of my time alone. So, 4 days a week I swim 72 laps (1 mile). Supposed to be good for me...it can add years to my life. Of course they get added at the end when I'm too old to enjoy them.
I also have gotten interested in my old childhood hobby. Photography. Gets me out of the house and I go schlepping all over with my new camera, new tripod, new fancy binoculars. I am also in a local camera club where I learn more and we have friendly photography competitions.
I still do almost all of the cooking. Some of it different than what we see in restaurants...my own homemade pasta with great Italian sauces. Some times, soul food i.e. salami and eggs.
And like everyone else I spend some time, each month in a physician's waiting room.
Nice that someone thought of me...
