Roy Rogers, ozone layer, Farlows with Champion sweatshirts. I think fashion has gone downhill significantly since the pandemic. Remember when nobody wore grey sweatpants?

I miss going to the library and browsing the stacks.

I miss step aerobics.
Reading an actual newspaper with my morning coffee was nice.


My gym (OneLife) still has step aerobics classes. There's one tonight at 6:30 Germantown, One at 8:15 tomorrow in Olney. Lots of options.

You can also still get the newspaper each morning.

Being out in public and seeing other people looking around, at each other, or in front of them. It’s really tragic seeing everyone walking around staring at their phones constantly.

I miss the metabolism I had in my teens and 20s.

People actually being present at events etc. Now everyone is on their phone. We went to the kindergarten concert and everyone had phones or ipads recording it. I feel like no one was even really watching it in real time.

Nothing. I love the modern world. I'm 44 with teens and young adult kids.

You can read a paper newspaper with your morning cuppa, AND do step-aerobics (you Youtube, but maybe you can find an in-person class somewhere).
