Well, I hope he'll reconsider. The change might be nice for him and he'll have you and your wife. Maybe now will be the right time. Here's hoping.

Yeah, I don't blame you. I thought your dad was moving with you.

Same here. We were all the early adopters. We still mask everywhere. Say hi to Angela. I'm so glad you're all well.

It's been awhile. I haven't been on here but with so many friends I still want to be connected to I'll be checking in. I'm so happy to hear you're loving France. What's not to love. It's absolute craziness here.

That's wonderful Xabier! Did you find the home you want? That sounds like just the thing. We're doing okay all things considered. Always busy with photography and doing things with my husband. I miss you on x. I'll have to start checking on here more to keep up with friends like yourself.

Hi Michael- how's life?

Hi Xabier. Such great things going on (unmentionable), I can hardly contain myself. Just wanted to say hello. I hope you're doing well.

Yeah, it's a disgrace.

There are no words for this behavior. The loss of empathy and patient care must be from the brain damage caused by the very thing (illness) they seem only too happy to give their patients. Total insanity.

So cute!!

Yeah, and what's really shocking is the medical community. I'm appalled by their dismissal of proven science.

The situation with masking is much worse here now. Nobody masks- basically were the only ones. In healthcare, it's atrocious.

Yeah, It's over. It picture took altogether 10 secs, so I hope all will be well. The picture came out absolutely horrible - I look a felon in a lineup, but I can live with that rather than Sars. BTW, are you loving France?

Hey Michael, I hope you are well. Question: I have to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to renew my license. I will have to pull off my mask for the photo. Any advice and experience with this? I hope the photo will only take 20 seconds or so, and then I can put it back on.

It's the ugly truth. Some were born with the ability to ignore it. We aren't one of them. It must be nice when your only worry is where to have brunch. 😢

I'm glad you've got your power back, Xabier. That was really terrifying. There is a lot of food for thought about events like this no matter what the cause. It can happen anywhere.

Sickening.
