I kind of miss it now. The "Covid Tribe" of close friends who all agreed to be diligent and trusted each other led to lots of engagements where small talk was unnecessary. You could have more in depth conversations and often it was outside, dressed in a pullover, sipping whisky in a plastic cup, or in shorts, with a gin and tonic. Now I'm back to small talk land. Crowded soirees peppered more with acquaintances than close friends. What's called "normal."

Shakes head, gives up.
