Husband is getting up there in age and hoping it’s safe to go back to a few favorite locations before it gets to late for him to comfortably take long flights.

Miss going out with friends for occasional dinners. Other than that not much change other than rushing in and out of grocery and pharmacy as quickly as possible while masked.
