'Round about the first week of SIP, perhaps even the first day, when we were all getting used to the funny rules of social distancing for virus protection, my friend Molly Wertz came by for a walk around the marsh trail just down the road from my house. I think we were mostly 6 feet apart, but these were early days and we had to practice. We talked of many things, of walruses and kings, of our children who had grown up around each other, and our grandchildren, who sometimes see each other; we mulled over how to hold each other without touching, of elbow bumps, hip-bumps, footsie-bumps. Then she went out to Forestville and wrote this piece about eye hugs, which ran that weekend in the Press Democrat. Check it out; it's a lovely piece! To Stay Connected, Try Eye Hugs
