One of my high-school classmates  (a few weeks older than I) died of Covid-19 on April 30.

David,

 

[hidden email] works just fine or [hidden email] . 

 

I am really, REALLY  sorry but I don't think we should meet.  I just told my "pod" that I think that, with the rising cases in neighboring states, Santa Fe has started to get more dangerous again, and that we should we should be even more careful than we have been. (Rural Western Massachusetts got a lot of cases from "vacationing" New Yorkers in March.)   With talk of a vaccine by the beginning of next year, it just seems stupid to take any risks whatsoever. 

 

It's not that long.  In the meantime, let's continue to interact electronically.  We could do our own zoom session.  You will point out how "notional" the hazard is, and I will have to admit that I actually have no first-hand experience with the disease, what-so-ever.  I don't even know anybody, personally, who has told me that they know anybody who has had the disease.  It is still, for me, a media event.  A cultural meme.  Pray God it remains that way.   

 

So let's plan to meet "on the other side.". 

 

You take care!

Nick,

 

Your Earthlink email address (the only other one I have) bounced. I am in Santa Fe for a couple of days, until July 2.
