Another continuing medication education symposium, another hotel room. How is everyone this evening?

8. The book sounds excellent!

I'm reading the first murder mystery that came up on the library e-reader catalogue and it's obviously not holding my attention. Maybe I should pivot and find something more engrossing.

I've been mulling over answering a Facebook message from an old high school mate. She was a "mean girl, popular girl" back then who has morphed into a wealthy Republican matron a la Ann Romney. I'm kind of morbidly fascinated she's reached out to me and wants to talk, like exchange phone numbers and actually really talk. I've pretty much cut all of those folks out of my life except my mother and she's tough enough.

It's been 35 years since I last saw and I'm still deeply ambivalent. The only thing that's interesting to me is her husband is the founder and CEO of the online K12 school - another cog in the destruction of public education - even as their own kids went to fancy private academies. I'd love to have that convo with her since she's a product of the public school system, and how she squares her hypocrisy.

Whaddya think? Give her my number or simply ignore the request?
