Nobody is really sure when we'll get back to the "normal" way of doing things. I feel like I might have to be retrained at that point. It's been so long that I'm starting to forget what it's like to go somewhere for the purpose of doing some sort of activity.

At least there are places around town that are tweaking their services to try and offer up some forms of entertainment as we battle through the unknown way of the world.

Zootown Arts Community Center has a pretty cool thing going where you can still paint your own pottery - but you do it as a curbside service. It's a great idea! Grab the supplies from the ZACC, complete your project, return your finished piece and supplies, pick up the finished product after it's been fired.

Here's all the details.
