Out South

I am in between Roe and Nall. Go to 127th...there's a stoplight...and turn whichever direction will put you between Roe and Nall. Go to Sherwood and go south...then go to 129th (not marked) and turn right...take the first right on Rosewood...top of the cul-de-sac...12800.

Usual time. I'm still pondering the details of food. The basement will keep us plenty cool in case of heat wave.

Call if you have trouble finding the place...

I will be there. Poison Ivy rash and all. Who wants to carpool or share a cab? I can't drive, since after 2 beers I am wasted these days. If someone wants to drive, that's awesome. If not, I plan on taking a cab if anyone is interested.

Count me in. Sorry about missing trivia; I had an unexpected yard sale pop into my life. I'm still recovering.

I'm sure none of Eric's neighbors would mind if you sleep in the cul-de-sac, Rob.

Mea Culpa. i spaced off the meeting because i actually had a date with a female. i know this is a slap in the face to the he man woman haters book club. i therefore submit my humble apologies to each and every one of you. i will understand if the resignation of my position as treasurer is demanded. but i will have you all know that i will fight it. this is not justice, my friends. and i live for the day when you attempt a mealy-mouthed reconciliation just so you'll be able to sleep at night. and again i shall feast on victory.
p.s. i didn't read the book, either.
