I've never been a big Hemingway fan but I LOVE Vonnegut -- and a lot of Updike, although Updike's contempt for women gets to be a little bit much for me and his stuff seems dated.

THANK YOU for telling me that you enjoyed my Medium Day presentations.

As a presenter, there was no way to know whether people were enjoying it.

When you speak in person or on zoom, you can see the folks who are listening and "read the room."

On HopIn, there is no room. Just me talking to the camera light on my laptop and hoping that people are enjoying it.
