[Fuusmchat] Last Night's Discussion of the Minister's Performance

[Ted Goertzel]

There is sense to that.  Unfortunately, Linda has a TaxAide conference in
Washington that conflicts with the next meeting and I plan to accompany
her.  So if we are going to have a story in the September Confluence,
someone else will have to write it.  That's OK, I don't normally write the
stories in Confluence myself.

I would attend if they put the meeting on Zoom, but I don't think they want
to do that.

I didn't so much think that individuals would be embarrassed, but that it
might be embarrassing for us as an organization.
