So I made an exception and went to a memorial service for a friend. About forty people. All over 60. It was a Christian mass, not quite Catholic, but enough similarities to follow along. Near the end of a catholic service there is a part where the priest says, I give you peace, the peace be with you, let us give each other the sign of peace. And in a Catholic mass you are supposed to shake hands or hug the person next to you. I wondered what would happen if the priest would say it. Well, he did and what followed was bewilderment and confusion. Finally, one person held her hand up and stuck two fingers up. She looked of Woodstock age and it was a peace sign. A few of us followed her example. A bunch of Boomer age people digging deep into their past to find a safe alternative.

Getting an elbow bump from Hillary in the era of #CoronaVirus. @HillaryClinton would have handled this crisis masterfully. But her emails.
