3. Wasn't there talk of meeting at Bad Waitress, since it was otherwise
hard to get a table there?

4. yeah, that was discussed.
as a bonus, we can get coffee and food there. It may be a good idea, and they are only a block apart.

7. Our previous meeting was at 11AM at Spy House Coffee
That may be a good time to hit Bad Waitress, since most of the brunch crowd will be finishing up but the lunch crowd won't be there in full force.

Last time we started out at Spy House and went to Bad Waitress at noon, but it was already too crowded, so we adjourned to a nearby Mexican restaurant.

27. OKAY, EVERYONE: BAD WAITRESS AT 11AM
Not many takers this time, but let's keep the tradition alive. :-)

One of our summer gatherings can be a picnic. (The third annual Minnehaha Park Picnic?)

33. Actually, I think it would be the 4th annual picnic
The first year we had the cake; the 2nd year was when Bvar22 let us know he would be moving and I think the little activist was there, and last year we had the nasty weather and ajourned to the restaurant in the neighborhood (we should go there again as well).

28. will try! very full weekend though... I know, in the words of Yoda...
..
"there is no try. There is only 'do' or 'do not do.'

ok. but I'll try.


anybody going to run/walk in the Komen Race for the Cure on Mother's Day?
Look for me!!!

participating finally for my neice-in-law, battling breast cancer. young 40s, three school-age kids. makes me think I am awful damn lucky.


was thinking of wearing my Bush t shirt: "Will Kill for Oil" but that might be a little uncouth.

36. Unfortunately I am unable to attend today.
:(

I'm keeping an eye on my conure, Rusty, as he's got an injured toe and toe nail that's been bleeding off and on. The ER patched him up. I'm hoping it won't happen again as I don't want to drive back to the vet ER, but as he was picking at it before driving down, I don't want to see him pick at it again. (so far so good, and I haven't seen new dried drops or smears of blood...)

Plus, the whole talon is slightly redder than the other; if I see anything odd in his behavior I will be leaving right away. (otherwise, the follow-up with my regular vet is on Monday).

40. Sorry I couldn't make it!

It just got a little too hectic with taking care of the little activist and trying to get the garden planted.

Next time!
