Also, my annual quota for men in their 80s milling absentmindedly exactly where I want to be has been met and surpassed

@bikepedantic my mother has told me that once I was old enough to walk and talk, whenever people came over I would greet everyone in turn then leave and go sit by myself quietly in my room. I am on board for normalizing this as acceptable adult behavior.

Have resorted to extended bathroom breaks for this very reason. Hang in there.
