     Yes. But I didn't do it DURING the meeting!

     Well, not most of the time…

     Really? I drew a lot of boxes and arrows. I got really good at boxes and arrows.

     My favorite whiteboard story involves @pluralistic when he gave a speech at Microsoft in the mid 1990s.

     I got to the room early because I wanted to meet him in person. He and another guy show up laughing their asses off.

     Turns out? They were going into every meeting room and writing, "do not erase' on the whiteboards.

     Now tell the truth, didn't you draw cartoons on meeting whiteboards before retiring, too? 🙂
