The Coven is no longer gathering for morning coffee. Banner
is upset. His morning loving and treats are missing!
There were two main morning social groups, the Coven in the
commons area and the anti-coven in the lobby. Both are on pause.
The afternoon gatherings are gone. One group gathered for
board games. Another was a bible study group. We also have avid jigsaw puzzle enthusiasts.
Banner and I are passerby friends with all the groups but a
member of none.
All of this was spurred by a second hand report that some
resident may, just may, have come in contact with someone who may have been in
contact with someone being “tested” for the Wuhan Virus.
We have 90 units and, with the exception of the in house
maintenance man (no spring chicken) everyone is 65+. Many have serious health
issues. Mobile oxygen generators and wheelchairs are common sights.
Maybe an over abundance of caution is warranted but Banner
doesn’t understand!

How will they conjure up Satan if they can't meet?
Yes, it appears that Banner is the victim in all this. Give him more love and snacks.

Got him a Buffalo shin bone section today that is keeping him occupied.
DFTR (Don't Fear...) but be safe. Off topic, but your post reminded me of a time when I'd take Communion to an elderly lady (RIP) who opted in for one of the "afternoon groups." They gambled, poker.
I'd arrive and pretend innocence and shock, "But ladies, what are you doing?!?"
"We're gambling, Father! Poker."
Then I'd offer to celebrate a short Communion service, which they liked, the cards would go temporarily down and off we went. The place is shut now but the memories are good.
My Blue's become snack obsessed. Hmmmm.

Dogs and snacks/treats. A slippery slope.
Verbal fencing with old ladies is risky. My neighbors routinely bust my chops.
Both of my kids, a couple of the grandkids, and a few friends have contacted me to check up on me. I'm used to taking care of myself, so this was a novel experience. When I answered that I was self quarantining on the Columbia fishing, their response was interesting...
Hahaha!
Yep, dogs and treats ARE a slippery and fat slope... for the dog anyway...

He gets a treat each time we come back from any excursion. If I forget he reminds me, and reminds me, and reminds me.
Maybe Banner can have a treat basket outside his apartment door for drop off delivery.

Don't be giving him ideas!
