Thank Goodness for Gotham

This past Friday, Gotham hosted a happy hour, via Zoom.  It was fun! "When life gave them Quarantine, Gothamites made Quarantinis."

It was good to see everyone and be "together", even if we couldn't be together, in the flesh. The best part was seeing everyone in their natural habitats. Their drink of choice, the convenience of refills and the belly of laugter we all experienced, amidst the scary events happening all around. Much needed. The guys are growing beards, and the ladies are longing for the salon. First time I've done my hair in 10 days was Friday.My husband barely recognized me.

Did you know that you can have a background of just about anything you want on ZOOM? Mitch, our Webmaster, sat at his faux bar, with some mysterious person sitting silently in the background. I actually believed he was at a beach, until that person sitting behind him...never, ever moved. Maybe she already bought her fill of chicken and TP. Who knows!

Lucky for me, I was even able to meet someone new, over zoom. Networking, via video. His name is Brad and he's very nice. Brad, if you're out there, thank you, and thanks to countlss others, for sending me information on the 2020 RMD rules, much appreciated.

I'd like to take a minute and honor those of our friends and family deeply affected by this terrible sickness. Sending all those readimg this blog, love, light, healing and a giant safety shield around you.

 

Hugs,

Carly

Great to meet you as well, Carly! One good thing that came out of this horrible time period is the ability to attend many Gotham events. No fee and no commute makes it very easy to meet new people or catch up with people that you haven't seen or spoken to in a while.

I missed the Happy Hour as my company also does one at the same time on Fridays. Yes, Brad is a great guy. Get to know him from our Queens Group.

Fred, you and Joanne looked great in the sunshine! We even got to see Charcoal.

Sorry to miss the quarantinis! I have a weekly ZOOM conflict at that time. Will try to catch Gotham’s weekly Tuesday 5 PM conference call. Cheers!!!

Well, I’d love to be able to visit some of the other meetings. Philadelphia will have to host soon!

Carly,
Agree, all that and more. My Fave Poco song - AGFTK - applies here (There's a studio and many live versions so its hard to select which YouTube to post so leaving folks to there own "devices" here.).
