LET'S SCHEDULE A FOLLOWUP CALL.

DO YOU PREFER ZOOM, FACETIME, SIGNAL, WHATSAPP, OR VOICE CALL?

ZOOM.

HOW ABOUT NEXT TUESDAY AT 10 A.M.

MY TIME, WHICH IS 1 P.M. YOUR TIME?

I'LL BE ON THE ROAD THEN, 50 YOUR 10 A.M. WILL BE MY NOON.

BUT THAT'S AFTER THE TIME CHANGE.

AND I CAN'T REMEMBER IF I'M GOING TO A PLACE THAT CHANGE THEIR CLOCKS WHY DON'T WE SKIP THE WHOLE THING BECAUSE THE CALL WE ARE SCHEDULING PROBABLY WON'T BE ANY MORE USEFUL THAN THIS ONE.

LET US NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN.
