Good to hear you again Jim.
I help organise social events locally to raise money, and many of the
people on our dialing lists are pensionners. Perhaps 1/4 of them answer on
the phone to me when I suggest they come to the events with "but I'm very
old dont you know - I dont go out any more!" It makes me very sad
actually, to think of them inside - alone - unwilling to leave the home
for whatever reason they have constructed in their minds.
