And when I clicked on the "Facebook" icon in the original email, Facebook said "This post has been removed or could not be loaded." Therefore, I don't know whether there's an on-line poll somewhere on Facebook that I couldn't load. That's when I forwarded the email to Gerry, who's not on Facebook by choice. Maybe we were just supposed to choose from the list and state our preferences. What's the reason that Monday evening wasn't included? Gayle

Since we are not all on facebook, I thought I would repost this here (below, scroll). Since I and others have to a degree planned our annual schedules for BASFA on Monday evening, and have other things going during the day and other evenings, virtual or otherwise, my vote would be to continue meeting, virtually or otherwise, on Monday evenings. Since one doesn't have to drive through commute traffic to get to a virtual meeting, perhaps we could start as early as 6 or 7 pm? Review: For an exercise in eerie anticipation, check out Sarah Pinsker's novel, A Song for a New Age. It's a rare piece of straight science fiction (no magic, no pseudo science) nominated for a Nebula and Hugo award. It takes place in a near future US with gathering restrictions very similar to the ones that have just fallen upon us (she must have written this more than a couple years ago) and imagines them not going away. She's following a female singer/performer "Luce Cannon" who's trying to revive live band performances, etc. Good writing, characters, with some interesting switches between first and third person for her main characters which doesn't bother me, but bothered some reviewers. Rumor of the Meek: People are praying to effigies of the Donald asking him not to hurt them by denying COVID-19 virus aid to states who don't worship him. --Best, Gerald | When should we have an online BASFA meeting? | | | | | Saturday around lunchtime so that people in other time zones have a better chance of attending. | | | Sunday around lunchtime so that people in other time zones have a better chance of attending. | | | Saturday evening | | | Sunday evening | | | A weekday around lunchtime | | | A weekend around lunchtime | | | Gerald D.
