Except me. ;-) In my sarong, not yet showered.

Are you going to the 1:30 meeting? I'm getting a ride down.

Sounds like fun, albeit exhibitionistic ;-).

I'm going to drop by the 1:30 meeting for awhile, then leave it to you and Bill and Howard...

... except when one's dog starts barking really loudly at some other dog across the street and 40 people on a call go, "um, is someone calling in from home?"

I swea to god, every time I tele-conference, my dog manages to get his two woofs in. Fortunately, I work in a very dog-friendly office.

In my case, it's my 6-year-old bursting in howling in the middle of a discussion... I sympathize!
