They've closed and restricted almost every public venue BUT grocery stores. in case no one has noticed, we're all living with a boot on our necks.

My response to this is that the grocery store is now where I am going to present myself. And now I'm finding that I'm out presenting 10x more than I ever was when I was looking exclusively for "X-friendly" places and events.

I've found that almost everyone is just as friendly anyway, so the training wheels are now off for good, if that is a great stride. I will still attend events (with the exception of big weekend gender "conferences" which I don't want any part of, if they still happen) if they sound fun.

I don't drink, so bars were never much of a thing for me anyway.
