March 12, 2020, Day 1 Wanda looked around her new home. She was so excited. This was the first home she had ever owned. Well, almost owned. Right now it was a co-ownership between her and the bank, with the bank being the majority shareholder. But, she figured that would all change, just as soon as her new company took off. Her business was travel and her target demographic was seniors. It was the fastest growing sector of the travel business, and the group with the most disposable income. Cha-ching! What could be better? Her business orga...

Iosefina looked out across the familiar turquoise blue waters, waters that she had looked at every day of her life. The waters could be calm and soothing, as they were now.

Instead of putting myself through more electronic torture, I sat back in my chair, cradling my glass of red wine. Trying to find my true love was certainly easier with a glass of merlot at my side, but still not great. Ding! Incoming text. I could use the distraction. I looked at my phone. Liv: How’s it g...

I was sitting on the MTA 42nd Street bus to Times Square, looking out the window, with my phone in my lap. Phones were a necessity when taking public transit. Not only did they allow you stay in touch with the world, they also allowed you to avoid the ever-awkward eye contact with the strangers and weirdos who also rode public transit. I’m a seasoned New Yorker, and because I’m a poor seasoned New Yorker who will never be able to afford a car, I’m pretty tight on my public transit survival skills. Sure, the train...
