Yikes. After a nice streak of posting early, I got caught up in stuff last night and didn’t realize until 2:00 p.m. Hawaii time I never posted these. Which is like 7:00 in the evening on the East Coast. Sorry.

2. Where (and how often) did you get your pandemic news this past year?
3. Where did you find unexpected comfort in these crazy twelve months?
4. What are some little things you miss most about what used to be normal life?

I appreciate your engagement every week — your silly responses, serious responses, puzzled responses, and charming responses have given me little lifelines to other parts of the world, little peeks into how others are coping, and glimpses into the lives of some obviously nice people. Thank you!

Thanks for participating, and have a safe weekend.

I’m on the Clubhouse app, and while I still haven’t participated the way it’s intended, I do drop in once in a while to eavesdrop. If you remember those 1-900 voice chat numbers in the U.S. in the 90s, it’s like that. People set up rooms, often themed by conversation topic, and you drop in and chat with them, or you just listen while others chat.

Since I kind of hate talking on the phone, I don’t see why I’d want to talk into an app on my phone with strangers around the world, but the app’s popularity is undeniable, so I’m here for the ride just to see where it goes. After all, when Twitter started, most of us asked, “Why would I want to do that?” and look where it is now.

It’s iPhone-only for now, and you need to be invited. So if you’re curious (no obligations, I swear), say so in your comment and I’ll send an invite to the email address attached invisibly to your comment. If you’re already on and want to exchange follows, I’m @scrivener.

1. What is the longest you ever spent on the phone on one call?
2. When you were a teen, how important was the phone in your daily life?
3. How much do you use the actual telephone function of your phone today?
4. How well do you handle phone calls at work?
5. What are some good telephone-themed songs?

Thanks for participating! And have a wonderful, safe weekend!
