Personal: Senior Dating in 2022
Senior Dating - 2022
This is an update from a short article I wrote over 2 years ago: Senior Dating in 2020 - Covid19 in May (This link will open in a new window, so you can read it and return here.)
I ended the blog with the lament "I miss people!"
Post-COVID
The COVID lock-down is over, but the world has changed. One analogy is people slowly coming outside after a once-in-a-century rain. The flooding has changed the landscape. Roads have been washed away, and new rivers exist where none had existed before.
The world is new and lush and green. Just different. Life is returning, but it's different as we try to understand "the new normal."

Cheat Weight Watchers Weigh-Ins
How to CheatBathroom Scales
Your Daily Weight
Did you know that two cups of morning coffee immediately add one pound to your body? I finally connected the dots on how this affects my daily weight! (PS: It doesn't really matter. Read on...)
I joined Weight Watchers over 20 years ago. At that time, WeightWatchers had two forms of accountability.
- Record everything you ate.
- WeightWatchers assigned a point value to each food, and members were allowed a maximum number of points each day.
- Stand on their scales once a week to measure your weight-loss progress.
