Stay with zoom or better yet, email DU to add visual chat as an option. I don’t leave the house to meet my own grown up kids, especially now that we approach an catastrophic infection point with the virus. They reported 195,000 cases yesterday.

Now, imagine if each of those people had interaction with five people every day...and those people interacted with five people...

Something to look forward to.

I'm like 4 hours from there now. I am going to contact the democratic club here to find some friends lol. The ratio here is like 15,000 r's to 8,000 d's. It's that redneck. Right now cause of covid I'm not venturing out, aside from going to the grocery store every couple of weeks, but once I'm able I fully intend to do that. My house mates are actually Dump supporters, too, so I'm screwed. lol. They're fully indoctrinated.

Don’t catch that disease... or Covid, either!!

My wife and I were part of a dance club in our retirement community.

That club, and all others, suspended operations back in March.

It could be a long time until we can resume face-to-face dancing with multiple partners.

To vaccinations -- cheers!

Live in nurse three days a week to elderly couple. I’m sure they’ve passed by now... been years since I talked to the kids. Nice area to live.

Tavernier is a few hours from Naples where I've been since 89. Back in the early 80's my in laws lived on Largo; sometimes we would brunch on islamorada, but the best time to go was always on mother's day when tiny tim would perform! Those were fun times.

on our way there and back!

After the holidays (and hopefully) vaccines, let’s do it!

When you plan on being in or going through the area I'm at your service.

in Naples and had to wait overnight for a part? I could have slept in your garage instead of the $200 a night Holiday Inn, lol!

Meet up sounds nice. I’m hoping for a vaccine early 2021 for regular people

And we will make a plan!

Something to look forward to

but it's a great idea! We turned Pinellas blue!

We go up there pretty often because I also have a step sister in St. Pete.

Gosh. Finding new family all over the state this morning!

Lots of great places to meet up with like minded friends after all his is over.

We take him and his roommate out to lunch when we go up there every couple months. Lots of outdoor eateries, and tables are spaced every other. We went to Doc Ford’s last time on the water and felt very safe. The boys are in the dorms where the rules are very stringent. I think my gs sleeps in his mask, lol. I never see him without.

needless to say, that plan was aborted. Will be staying in California for at least another year, or until a vaccine is widespread. Then we hope to revisit the move. If we do pull it off, we'll stop by to say hi!

We used to live in KW. I could be a tour guide if you ever need advice, lol.

see you in a year maybe....

Lived in Miami from the mid 70's through 86 and hit the road trucking in 87.

So....I'm FROM SoFla, but I don't live there now.

But despite that, I’d still love it if you showed up to our first get together.

My house to your old HS is 420 miles

A morning's drive!

Last time I drove down US 1 south of Homestead and into the Keys was probably in the 90's. I took a mini Vacay to Key West about 10 years ago, but took the high speed ferry from Ft. Myers Beach.

I've been thinking of taking a long weekend and coming down to my old stomping grounds! Eat at Ciro's near the Falls Shopping Center, go to Bloomingdales, stop by Keg South at 104th and US1.....

Lots of old memories in that area of the state. I love the upper keys as well. You are lucky to live in such a paradise! Except for the storms, of course!

Stay well and safe!
