OTHER: I had made arrangements with Omar to attend via Zoom but construction work that day knocked out the internet
where I am. I was keen to attend that meeting via Zoom because I will be returning to Denton from Europe on August .
It might be possible to join the meeting via Zoom. The flight lands in DFW at 5:10 pm.
