Today’s Discussion

Chuck Shreffler led the discussion with a couple of questions.

First-What will you keep from your Stay at Home experience going forward? Bob Alexander, Karen Holtmeier, Jon Peterson, Matt Crane, Jim Christianson, Ron Britz, Chuck Shreffler, Neil Roers, Craig Blixrud, and Mike Palm all had something to share. From learning how to use an Instant Pot, to working from home with young kids, to staying focused on work, to adapting to using technology, there was a lot of discussion on what we learned about home and work life.

Second- What is your attitude about the Virus? Karen Holtmeier thinks she had it earlier this year, the only member that thought that. Mike Palm, Jim Christianson, Martin Peyer, Matt Crane, Robert Sandberg, Jon Peterson, and Dick Anderson all had something to share. Items discussed were; getting the virus sooner rather than later as we all will be exposed to it, wearing or not wearing masks, whether or not you will frequent businesses that require masks, are restaurants and bars in your future, social distancing during softball games and the beer time afterward. Lots of diverse opinions and of course that is what makes this club great!
