this little guy is having a very
different kind of birthday party this
year his grandparents couldn't come
because they're hunkered down in their
homes so they're joining in virtually on
laptops and iPads as he test drives his
new scooter his siblings carry their
laptops around so granny and his pop-pop
can get a good look as we all practice
social distancing our lives are moving
online what we used to do in groups were
now doing alone in front of our smart
phones or computers it's interesting to
teach in front of a camera
Lindsay Ross messes yoga class in
Hoboken New Jersey has as many as 300
students logging into her live streamed
classes when you're at home it's it's
not always easy to practice yoga by
yourself and have your familiar teachers
with you and they're familiar cues and
movements and rhythms it's it's
comforting the coronavirus shutdown
hasn't kept Makayla Boyd from her Irish
dancing lessons
her mom Louann is the instructor and

something to do today that involved
their community
happy hour has also moved online friends
are having virtual parties using
teleconferencing apps like zoom even

Olin College in Massachusetts held an
unofficial foemen sment before they were
sent home their gowns are made from
garbage bags in the midst of our
national crisis people are finding
creative ways to celebrate life's
precious moments together while states
