Afterthoughts

Musical chairs

The video recording of meetings has driven a new and entertaining trend. Visitors see the camera and make sure they are nowhere near where it is pointing. That means the comfortable chairs around the table are less occupied than they have been and the bench along the wall fills up. Though regular meetings have moved to the Jackson Courtroom, where visitors will not be in the firing line, the work sessions should still provide seating entertainment.

Not judging

Some members of a Barbershop Quartet, complete with handlebar mustaches and all that, might not feel entirely comfortable singing love songs to dudes. Similarly, some dudes might feel the need to talk about the game or go to the gym afterwards. The Conewango Clippers are cognizant… now. But the first few times they were hired to serenade men with songs like “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” and “Sweet and Lovely”? “It was more than a little awkward.”
