Reopening bowling alleys




It is really quite stunning how much our thinking about simple things has shifted over the past two months. Take bowling alleys. While I no longer have the strength to bowl (not to mention that I never had much talent), we have taken our grandchildren to bowling alleys numerous times and they always enjoy it. Suddenly it is hard to imagine not only how we ever did this but how we could ever consider doing it again. Think about it: putting on those smelly shoes that have been handled and worn by numerous people, sticking your fingers in those holes that are likely never cleaned, let alone disinfected, the list is nearly endless.

Our view of what once seemed the simplest activities has altered so quickly. So I was stunned to read about bowling alleys reopening in a number of states, along with barbershops, hair and nail salons, body art studios, and gyms. There do not appear to be any strict rules about the number of new cases before these facilities are opening. The restrictions are tough, for sure, but not as tough as the infection.

On a much happier and lighter note, our Julia has now mastered the wonderful skill of riding a bicycle! This is so exciting!



And our daughter Dina has made me a video of challah braiding techniques for 6 and even 7 strands. Maybe this week….

Meanwhile, just stay safe and well!

Love,

Rebecca
