I miss my long lunch walks and long 20-30 mile cycling commutes, one way, twice a week for additional fitness...

Impressive level of fitness.

but i stink at ping pong

I don't. ;-) As an indoor sport, ping pong took a massive Covid hit. I still miss the fun ping pong battles in the office.

I also miss attending in-person Meetup events ... as mentioned here (in the last paragraph), Covid put a crimp on those who avoided cooking, cleaning and shopping simply by wolfing down the free food on offer at a different geek Meetup group every night of the week. :)

Update: When the Covid lockdowns hit my workplace, I noticed that single people, especially those who lived alone, were generally lonely and miserable ... while family folks, especially those with nice homes in leafy suburbs with long commutes to the office, were generally ecstatic.
