Hello all. I just answered this poll. I've not been up to much other than hanging out with one of my neighbors, sometimes more. But I have gotten out a bit and it felt really good. I met a potential new neighbor, when he attended a backyard BBQ that we hosted. I did listen to all 4 nights of the Democratic National Convention with audio description, and am happy to post those links if people want. The audio descriptions are a bit hard to hear at times over everything else, but the 2 describers did a very nice job.
