Dear friends,
We had some technical issues tonight that ended in a joke and laughs. Finale kept hearing echoes and her facial expressions said it all. When she came “back” to the live stream, I told here a funny story about my dad Rocky who experienced an echo on a phone call - he believed my husband was on the other end mocking him by parroting back everything he said: “Hello there, hello there. Who is this … WHO is this. Quit fooling around … quit fooling around!” Well, my dad was talking to himself. Luckily, Finale solved the problem by leaving and coming back on. What a relief.
We just loved that you stayed with us! Below, I add all the phone banks we discussed to fight back for the midterm. Sign up and spread the word. No excuses, let’s go all in!
Thank you Black Virginia News, Laura M, Margaret, Janyce Fadden, Phyllis Klein, and many others for tuning into my live video with Finale Norton! Join me for my next live video in the app.
