First, I have to start out by mentioning that I was thinking of my ex girlfriend today. My thought process brought me to think that everything about her and her dealings with me reflected an inner ambivalence that only she can resolve for herself. My issue is that I should pay more attention to "The Dude", and less to people who have no clue about what has gone on in my life over the past couple of years.

After work, I was supposed to drive out to Norwalk to meet with the Fun Time Friends. Given that I'm a little bit low on cash, I figured that I'd bail out on this dinner. Instead, I went home to join in a Zoom meetup geared to help a new firm sell its self improvement courses.
Before the zoom meetup started, I called YGM to say hello. We hadn't chatted in a long while, and she's happy ensconced in Florida. However, I think she believes the governor's BS that people are flocking to that state because it never fully shut down for the pandemic. There is an advantage in being young and healthy enough to consider catching the virus an acceptable medical risk. As for me, I take the risk, but can't wait until I can get vaccinated.
There were about 50 of us in the meetup, and the skills covered in the session were valuable - especially if exercised early and often. Most importantly, I may have found a new friend from Manhattan. Like me, she was laid off after a long career - and we exchanged phone numbers. Hopefully, the two of us ladies can get together soon and get to know each other better.

I could talk about missing a phone call with TCL. But the two of us will catch up on things tomorrow. I could talk about tomorrow's co-op board meeting. But I can't talk about any of the substance, so this would be boring. And I could talk about Vicki and her being too busy to chat. But we can catch up on things tomorrow. About the only thing I will mention that my friend Vanessa's skin cancer was successfully removed, and that the plastic surgeon will be monitoring her care until the grafts on her foot have healed.
