I attend Zoom meetings in San Francisco and New York. It’s good but the meetings are not the small ones that I prefer.

What is working for me the best during this crazy time is a small group meeting on FaceTime. A group of us just contacted each other and agreed to meet. A very small group meets three or four times a week and has a meeting/friendly discussion. It’s helping me stay connected. We keep it very small so it feels safer than the Zoom meetings.
