1. Where are you sheltering?
My house in Bloomfield NJ. Not a bad place to be – there are great parks and it’s a nice place to walk.
2. How are you staying sane?
Lots of Zoomprov – Magnet and more. Of course, it’s not the same but it’s surprising how much you can do. Also a lot of walks with my wife, Janet, when we keep tabs on the neighborhood dogs. Also, Netflix – and snacking. I’m good for a snack at least every two hours.
3. What do you miss most?
I miss the training center of course. The hallways were a great place to hang out – especially the couches in the back – always somebody to see. And I missed Magnet Camp where I went the last three years. And Woorijip’s steam table. Who knows when we’ll ever get to see a steam table again? I generally miss NYC where I grew up and usually spend a lot of time.
4. What don't you miss?
Late trains back to NJ, Penn Station, too-busy days (except when days are too un-busy).
5. What do you want to say to the other members of the Magnet community?
I hope everybody tried to stay connected through this – in classes, on social media, whatever. If not, there’s still time to try to do that. This has been crazy but some people found good things in it – time to find new hobbies, to read, to think. I don’t know if any of that will last after we get back to “normal,” but maybe a little bit. Mostly, I know we’ll be back together somewhere – hopefully the theater, maybe a new training center. I look forward to it.
