I have not been outside the loop as it were, my daughter tends to keep me on my toes if I am not paying attention. And you certainly are not completely outside your age bracket. Sometimes it feels like there are so few of us who are closer to 40 than we are 25.
Agreed. I enjoy seeing the looks on people's faces while speaking to them. Which I suppose using a computer's camera and doing a video call can accomplish that, I prefer being in a person's physical presence. If I like them, I even enjoy standing slightly too close to them just to see how they react.
