With so much not going well with the world, at almost all levels of abstraction, what are the things that are still great? In fact, what are the things about your own life that have improved over the past two years?
* Local dining, when they can open. Lower guest capacities allow the kitchens to slow down and pay more attention to food prep, and some have been experimenting with new dishes.
* Events that used to be annual in-person events have become monthly Zoom events.
* Cruising, when operating, has reduced passenger capacity, but usually full crews. See also dining above.
* Food delivery services have exploded in coverage; pity they haven't been able to lower prices.
* More time cooking at home and developing my culinary skills. (Or at least discovering new bad ways to cook things.)
* I finally got my (Society's) library all in one room -- with lights, power, and Internet -- so I can move forward with cataloging with much greater ease and dispatch.
* And, improved ability to identify stupid people from a distance, simply by observing if they are wearing masks when required.
