(The downside is the yoga studio shut down, so now it's Zoom only, which is the pits for those who live there.) Anyway, I'm happy to have one yoga class a week since I'd been unable to find one here. I've also had quite a few author conferences and that's been interesting. And I took a gardening class, with gardening 102 coming up in a week. And in a few days, we'll be able to see/hear the concert played by the local college orchestra, which we're looking forward to. So overall, I've been happy with Zoom. #WalterTheDaredevil did yoga on my head last yoga class, though, so there is that. If one has a cat, one has to expect a certain amount of humiliation.

About the cat, he just wants attention. When I have my laptop on the dining table, my cat jumps up on the table then parks himself at the edge of the table between me and the keyboard. Sometimes I play cat videos to entertain him. Eventually, I have to set him on the floor and usher him on to find other entertainment. <br /><br />I enjoyed your post. I needed a few laughs.

It's only purpose is to allow people to interact and often collaborate and work together. I guess we need to be thankful we have it. Many companies are using it to stay in touch. Me? I try to avoid it. lolJudy Ann Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11933875283816712058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-17085629531759211182021-02-15T17:34:14.645-06:002021-02-15T17:34:14.645-06:00The story of your kitty grooming you just made my ...The story of your kitty grooming you just made my day.HurricaneReadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513868369453472691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-6043076203025475382021-02-14T22:01:30.589-06:002021-02-14T22:01:30.589-06:00Oh, yes.

So she grumbles for a treat, with her voice getting louder and louder until she barks. Then I pick her up and settle her on my chair with me, She likes the attention, but only for a little while until she gets bored and wants down. Bad enough with friends, but worse on business zooms.Stephanie Suesan Smith, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06258700735299993683noreply@blogger.com
