WTF redux?

Have we abandoned the club altogether? I am out if it is the 12th...going to John Prine show, but I could make it next Saturday (19th). I know Rob was a bit frustrated for some other reasons, but I wasn't sure if that was a once and for all for the whole club.

If we plan to continue, I think we should get a few titles hammered out and nail down the hosting duties. It sounds like Rob is off hosting duties for the foreseeable future...but he was the go to spot for a long time. I don't mind hosting whenever as the fam can go upstairs and we have plenty of separation...but I know I am out in the boonies...though I am no longer alone out here.

I am fine with pushing this month's book until next month...just trying to find out where we stand.

I can take over next month, probably, but not this one. If anybody wants just just go grab some beers or something for this month, we could do that.
