e can all use a little levity in these rather turbulent and challenging times. And while we’re all going through similar experiences that are trying our survival skills and patience—such as “The Great T.P. shortage of 2020,” “Where’s The Beef in 2020?,” “No, you can’t drink bleach to cure COVID-19!” and “Now what are we supposed to watch—we’ve finished all of Netflix?”—I decided to survey some of our city’s most notable characters to see what they’ve been doing, watching or eating during the lockdown. While I am attempting to bring a lighthearted moment into the lives of my readers, I do not wish to be irreverent to those who are struggling from related issues and/or are recovering from COVID-19 itself. All of you remain in my thoughts, and all of us at Carmel Monthly are wishing you all the best as we navigate these uncharted waters together as one community.
