Earlier this spring I went on my first quasi-date since the coronavirus started. After having a conversation about his masking practices and pod size then searching for a flattering face covering I met a nice University of Houston professor for a walk around H-town’s open air art installation The Orange Show.
He noted that I was double-masking while he was only wearing one. When he asked me to join him for lunch, I nearly shouted “patio only!” I might be lonely, but I’m not suicidal.
