Were you the one who had the dancing banana in the signature line? I miss those creative signature lines. The only one I see on occasion is the bug walking across the bottom of the screen.

... In Hawaii. This year I organized an old friends covid Zoom Happy Hour where some of us hadn't seen each other in 35-40 years! We had people in time zones from Hawaii to Maine.

Sadly, this year, Annabanana's succumbed to Covid, and closed her doors forever.

Oh... the memories!

I think the Zoom party did us all good. We ended up online for over 4 hours, talking story, reminiscing. I put together a slide show of old photos when we were in our 20s and drop dead gorgeous! (If only I realized it then....)

We may do another one for New Years. Zoom is fairly easy, even for these non-computer type old geezers. It is a good way to bring people together in a safe way.
