Ask Amy: Pandemic porch-drinking pal needs push
Dear Left Out: Life presents many opportunities to feel bad, if you try hard enough. You have never attended this annual event, and it seems most likely that the people who do attend commit to it early. There is nothing “wrong” with attendees inviting guests. All of this is up to the organizer.
I suggest that you keep in closer touch in order to get back on the primary guest list for next year.
Dear Amy: Like “Isolated,” I have a medical condition that makes it necessary to isolate during the pandemic.
My remote friends and I have discovered online bar trivia, which we play via Zoom. I can't tell you how much I look forward to this weekly two-hour activity. Another group of friends picked a book to read and we have met virtually, to discuss it. These activities are literally keeping me sane.
Plan It, and They Will Come
Dear Plan It: Deal me in!
