That is exactly the tune for airline travel these days. As everyone is masked up from the point of entry into the parking arena of departure until arrival at the hotel in the chosen city, all a person does with fellow human beings is wink a smile, blink a smile, or nod in a communal understanding mode.
I have perfected the head nod, having had practice with that Midwestern driving technique. Blinking my eyes seems to be easier for me than winking, since I usually have one eye shut in squinting mode anyway. And as a recent airline passenger, masks do make conversation nearly null and void. Great for you in the event you aren’t a chatty person that day. So what additional means have we to communicate other than winking, blinking, nodding and yelling through our masks?
If you’re walking along the Mount Vernon Trailhead, which parallels the highway, you can wave over the concrete walls to passing motorists and truckers. Lots of honks and others waving back can give your little heart a boost. Or, you can also dance through the international terminal at Dulles without any repercussion, as there is absolutely no audience available.
Go forth waving and dancing is our mantra for today.
Glad you enjoyed the East coast, even for a day. Any more weddings coming up? Happy your legs enjoy the Dance. Love June
