Farther Shore in Farther Grandview

We never had the chance--too drunk?--to introduce the idea of the next meeting. Except that it's my book at my house. Either March 14 or 7 is fine with me.

Anyhow, the book is "The Farther Shore," which seems very short with big type. I don't know too much more than that, except than it's received a lot of praise. Could be publisher's hyperbole, though.

So, whichever date is best for the majority of you is fine with me.

Address: 13112 5th Street, Grandview MO 64030. Mapquest if you need to.

Trout Fishing In Suburbia.

I guess we will muster on with reduced ranks this Saturday.

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.

913-499-8524 if you have questions.
