"Reality Ray"!

Categories
Games

We have a terrific member named Ray Walcott who fills many Gotham roles reliably, ergo, his nickname “Reliable Ray”.  

Last Saturday night both Ray and I were at the Gotham Yankee/Met game at Citi Field and were both, responsibly, wearing masks.  Thus, when I first encountered Ray I was not sure who he was.  Later I figured it out and approached him with a warm greeting. Then I asked him to take his mask off for the attached (Erin McKenna) photo and when he did it was a reality check.  

I looked at him and he looked so healthy, sleak, handsome, and animated.  So alive! 

I suddenly realized that, Ray being a relatively new member, I had never seen him before in person.  It was a “WOW” moment and I exclaimed “Reality Ray”!

It is hard to fathom! And now that you mention it, I have never met Ray in person either.

Hard to recognize people with masks on! I have my students give me no-mask pics so we can get to know one another!

Masks do hide our identity and expressions. Looking forward to when we dont have to wear them again.

Mask wearing is interesting phenomenon. We can use it to hide behind - to disguise our true feelings. However on the other hand it masks our happiness (we can’t see a smile) the eyes must do the bulk of the work in expressiveness. But I digress…..

They also give us another Han each to make a first impression:)

IRL, as "the kids" say...very nice! Hoping our webmaster can increase your picture size in the future.

It was really great to meet and see so many of our Gotham family! It was truly a spectacular evening meeting everyone!
