48 FRONTDOORS MEDIA | APRIL 2 020 Then there’s our circle of friends. I have always welcomed a break from charity events, group dinners and parties each July, but this abrupt halt to what would have been at least 50 nights out before summer break was a shock to the system. This past weekend, we started having 6 p.m. virtual happy hours from our front porch or kitchen bar. We began with Facetime, but then I learned about the Houseparty app. It’s a multiscreen format like Zoom but much easier to use, sign in, etc. Plus, they have games you can play while you’re waiting for everyone to join or just to have some fun while seeing friends and family face-to-face. The point? Technology is having its day! And you don’t need to be an expert to use it. Those who were timid before are all in now, and the best applications are rising to the top. Business models will be changed forever and Sunday dinners with grandparents can continue in this new way. I’m liking it! Together. From home. We can do this.
