In a normal year, that would slide by without a comment. I used to travel a lot in my 40’s. If you asked me where I was going to be the next day, I would have to look at my calendar.
That said, I was putting 45k on my car over a 9 month sports season—I would literally do 3 games on some Saturdays—in three venues—up to 8 on some weekends. If I did not label the games I shot, I would forget who played come Monday.
But, Joe has’t been anywhere. Since Friday.
This one, in my mind, is a push. But, his tone and the pacing of his speech are concerning. Three years ago he would have engaged these reporters, made some jokes, and called them by name.
Those are the things that should be standing out to the people viewing these. He is not going to answer “Jello” when he talks. That tends not to be how this works.

I saw some video of “before and now”. The before video was quite awhile ago - 20+ years ago. Joe came across as personal and fairly witty. I was actually surprised and impressed.
