<p class="MsoNormal">What you also missed after Shelly and most of the others left the Zoom Happy Hour on Friday was a lovely rendition of Match Maker, sung beautifully by our delightful Paula Oleska. Why did she sing? Simply because I asked if she could. It
was wonderful and you never know what may go on at the \u201cAfter Party\u201d for the Gotham Happy Hour. You have to hang around a bit longer for these nuggets.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Thank you Raj Goel (Brainlink International) for your editorial comment (more on this later) regarding events after this chronicler left Happy hour last Friday. It was captured
by and generously shared by Corey Bearak (Government and Public Affairs Counsel, Author, etc) And thank you Kelly Welles for the appellation \u201cchronicler\u201d which goes quite well with the descriptive shelleygram\u2122 from Fred Klein (Klein Zelman Rothermel Jacobs
and Schess.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Last Friday Happy Hour started with a brief Zoom tutorial from Cayce Crown (Videographer/The Crown View) who has a different perspective than most when it comes to video. That
said, I think we all agree that a whole head is better than half, and an inside view of our nasal passage is better shared with an ENT.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Norman Spizz (SPN Music and Entertainment) shared another clip of the 2004 Gotham Follies featuring Fred \u201cSullivan\u201d Klein (Our Delegator in Chief) who handed the mic to Norman who
turns out to be not only a standup guy, he\u2019s an engaging standup comic. He shared a plethora of purloined persiflage \u2013 some tending toward the blue \u2013 imagine THAT!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The video was out of focus and a tad bit out of sync, but Norman\u2019s standup was anything but that. His timing was focused like a laser beam to the funny bone as evidence by our resident
"laugh track" RitaSue Siegel (RitaSue Siegel Resources.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">It was an evening filled with nostalgia and a hint of naughtiness. Advice flowed freely on everything from A~Z - alcoholic beverages to Zoom protocol and lots in between. Tales
of events - current and past - were as much a part of the conversation as vax-talk which will at some point take its place among our memories. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Alan Kreit (Sr. Lending Officer/Bank of America) added some innuendo that was too HOT to share with anyone but Norman. Nancy Schess (Klein Zelman Rothermel and Schess) provided
a peek at her family\u2019s propensity toward the wild and crazy which they kept under wraps for Steve and Eydie\u2019s wedding. The \u201cNaked City\u201d had nothing on Gotham when it comes to stories.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Below are photos that capture some of what went on; the only way to really know what happens at Happy Hour is to join us. The photo of Raj reminds this chronicler (like I need
reminding?!) that with all the stressors and strains, pressures, and potholes of life, it\u2019s on each of us to take some time to let it go \u2013 be silly! Have fun! Work if you must - note Sharon Goel working tirelessly as Raj opines. There\u2019s no better source of
Friday frivolity than with your Gotham Community!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Join us next week when Norman will supply another clip of the 2004 Follies. Some of us know who will be featured. All I can tell you is \u2013 YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONE!<o:p></o:p></p>
