Yes, I was on D2L! I was searching for the zoom on Macaro! I clicked on every single option! It was under "View User Profile" that this appeared!!!
"If a hobby is whatever you do to divert yourself from your obligations, mine would be: family, reading, walking, films, baseball, dogs, and beer... roughly in that order. I'm a philosophy prof, an enthusiast of the philosopher William James, and a family guy (our daughters are in 10th & 6thgrades, respectively). I've also taught at Vanderbilt, East Tennessee State, and Southesast Missouri State. My favorite non-teaching job was my stint as Night Manager at Vandy's Sarratt Student Center. I grew up near St. Louis, came to Tennessee in the early '80's." See y'all this afternoon!! Mary

    Sorry, Mary, I misspoke. The reviews are NOT on D2L. I emailed the links to my Zoom room. That still didn't work for you?
