[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Graphene

[Mitchell I. Wolfe]

I try to attend in person.

Old school: "Half of life is showing up."

My Wednesday morning routine generally includes a walk from Lexington 
Center to the Recreation Center, shooting pool, meeting, $2 senior 
community lunch, and a walk back. This is the same as pre-covid.

Pre-covid we usually would get about 20 in-person attendees. After 
things opened up again, now there are about a half dozen reliable souls 
in the room. The comradery and group dynamics have been affected 
negatively and are not the same as pre-covid. Of course, we may never 
get back to the good old days.

Please consider showing up... Around Lexington, the Covid/flu risks 
seems to be fairly contained at this point. You may want to wait until 
next year - post social gatherings in the holiday season.

My 2 cents...
