I love your blog and read it daily. But was a little irritated that you posted how to organize a community meet/swap when social distancing should be our mantra for now? Sorry for being such a party pooper…

@Anna, I started this blog post a week ago and that was one of my first things I put in. A lot has happened in a week. Yes, you’re right, timing is not good. It’s still a fun idea, for when things are hopefully sometime back to normal. Thanks for pointing it out. I am taking social distancing super seriously.
