Tuesday, Oct. 6 – Tuesday Groove

We moved from Wednesday to Tuesday this week since Wednesday the Vice Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence would be holding our attention. Our conversation veered from our fears of the winter onset and getting colds and going back to the office and posible super spreading events to Cuomo’s crackdowns on local hot spot neighborhoods in NYC and to early voting opportunity, versus mail-in voting. We talked about Midwestern culture versus Northeastern culture and how our prioritization of values differ, such as kindness and discretion versus directness and expression. We shared our alarm over the president’s quick COVID recovery, dubious to many of us, and his dictator-y and mask-less presentation on the balcony of the White House to announce said recovery. We wondered whether Biden actually did get plastic surgery and discussed how obviously Kelly Anne very much did, as well as her COVID diagnosis. We talked about which papers we were reading, the more conservative NY Post, the more liberal Washington Post, and even the National Enquirer which sometimes breaks stories. It was a quick mellow, typically random talk. It felt like we were in suspension, on the cusp of this new season.
