Somehow a classmate of mine from both high school and college got hold of one of my email addresses; an invitation to join a bi-weekly zoom call with university classmates came through on a rambling email from the linchpin of the group. (What the heck; some of the people were old friends, though I had not seen nor spoken with any in twenty years…what have I got to lose?)

The men were cordial and I gave a two minute summary of my last twenty years. The stragglers zoomed in; suddenly the joyous news of the day: the pick to round off the Biden ticket got them all atwitter with a giddiness which left me dumbstruck. Gobsmacked. Stunned.

The call eventually came near its ending. I thanked them for the invitation and wished them health. (Remember the Scam ramping up.) I remain in awe of these intelligent, successful men. Thankfully, I received no more invitations. They sussed me out. Good!
