Drat! I can't make it. That is mother's day, and my partner and I are

This is a wonderful idea. I really enjoyed the few chats I have
participated in. It is very easy to get distracted and busy with other
things until a lot of good things start falling through the cracks.
Thanks for reminding us to keep this activity alive.
I'm surprised that tech-savvy transhumanists don't communicate more
interactively over the Internet. We seem to work better in batch mode
with store-and-forward. However, there is a spontaneity in real-time
communications that is not obtained by recorded messages.
Although I will miss this one, I definitely would like to chat in the
future!
