73. Not to make light of this...

Mon Dec 13, 2021, 02:29 PM

Dec 2021

...but I was at a high school function recently where a high profile, internationally-known celebrity was in attendance with her children. (She lives in the area and was there as "mom" and not in any entertainment capacity.)

Everyone there was wearing masks. She was all masked up and was being quite discrete, although many know who she was (including me).

I chatted with her a bit, and she was in good spirits and said that many celebrities - including her - liked the mask requirements in a way because it enables them to go out in public to do "normal" things and not be recognized. She mentioned how cool it was that she's been going to a local grocery market, hardware store and drug store without having an assistant with her and without being hassled.
