Some of my friends didn&#8217;t quit playing but I followed the rules and really buckled down. <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=22432\" >I started doing ZOOMba<\/a> (that is, Zumba via the ZOOM platform) just to keep myself sane. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, I had to quit offering ZOOMba once the stay at home order was lifted and we could go out again because then I could rejoin my pickleball-playing friends at the park. When the gyms reopened in June, I really wasn&#8217;t eager to reclaim my crazy busy Zumba schedule so I only took on Monday nights at VASA.

Liz and I would love to see everyone do doubles with us on Monday. If we stay for Jamey&#8217;s express yoga class after, we could even make it a triple!
