Yes, from post to post. You're crafty that way. We've noticed.

You should try to have dinner with me. It’s amazing my wife hasn’t killed me.

The paradox of choice is my Achilles’ heel.

I remember when I used to fly places all the time. That was fun.

I'm flying this winter. I may fly sooner than than that. The chance of getting Covid on a flight is low if you wear a good mask and you're not on some AirTran-like carrier. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/o...scn/index.html

I've immunosuppressed clients and family who've flown a lot during the pandemic. No acquisitions yet.

The plane isn't the risk. The person next to you is the risk, and you have no way of knowing what that risk is. Why take unnecessary unknown risks? It's also a bit like going to a 45 rally. Almost by definition, you know that the other people there are taking more risks than others (as my in-laws have risk factors and are our childcare, it's almost universally true that others are taking more risks than us).

I'd fly if there was a good reason to. My desire to go somewhere for fun isn't a good reason. Leisure travel can wait.

I think they seat people apart from each other. The trick is order your flight by size of plane and hope you find a near empty one.

I really like to ski. And that ride is just way too long.

It's like a six hour drive from Philadelphia to ski areas in Vermont, but sure, get on a plane.
