“I love an empty calendar. It is so peaceful!” — Cassandra Tucker, 69, Mt. Pleasant, Mich.

My comment:  The lady is not alone.  There are those who crave human company and crater when they don’t get it.  For those of us who are more introverted, covid and lock-down are disruptive, but there are rather pleasant aspects to it (if you worry about, but don’t dwell on, the mayhem and dreadful hardship in the outside world).  My wife has been practicing her piano and I have been drawing and painting, getting plenty of exercise, eating well, and talking to friends and family on Zoom, but hardly every day.  Time has flown.  Yes, it is so peaceful!
