Don't you love the irony of us getting together to celebrate our solitary natures?

[Aristus]

I always feel alone, even in a crowd.

There's a joke going around the internet:

When we were young, we sneaked out of the house to go to parties.

Now we sneak out of parties to go home.





Story of my life...

1. I hear you.

I mean what's to complain about. Works fine for me.

[Aristus]

2. As a sometime theater actor, I feel comfortable with a large crowd.

And one or two close friends.

Get me in a room with fifteen people, and I start looking for the exits...

3. I once snuck out of a house party to the backyard.

I thought to leave through a side gate. Discovered they were both 6 foot tall. And locked. A decidedly non-Dan Fosbury scramble found me snagged on a top picket with torn 501's. Then a hinge or two broke. That deposited my half-lit ass on the other side where I secured my escape. There was a bit of blood. But I was freeeee!

It hasn't been that difficult maintaining a social distance. For gregarious Mrs. yonder though, it's a different story.
