Yeah, it probably seems pretty retrograde
and irrelevant to most people. The former
it is; the latter, no.
Agreed. (G)
What, never? No, never!
E-mails or phone calls are the best way to communicate with them, usually the former is the more commonly used method.
That seems best for not-too-close communicants.
As we found out.
Technology as gatekeeper can be a fine thing.
Problem is that the clever and greedy can use
it as a backdoor as well.
the hurricane doesn't hit on my dates.
We've got it set now for the last full week in September, hopefully without any high water.
Thanks.
With as small a group as is here, it was easy to work with. Dale has put
in a vote for us doing the meal here Thursday night, go out for prime
rib ($15.95 for meat--a big piece, potato and vegetables) on Friday.
Other option might be do bbq pork as part of the picnic, go for Italian
on Thursday night.
Any or all seem fine.
You're the planners, so plan away.
With input from all attendees.
I'm not going to have too much input, as I don't
know the area, plus my preferences and requirements
are simple and known and not critical anyhow.
And an estimate of costs to participants,
unless you are going to rely largely on
self-catering, in which case the honor
system is fine, as it generally is.
TBD at this point.
As the schedule comes together, so will the
rest of the picture.
Sounds about normaal for the group.
We've always been pretty generous with the food,
haven't we.
Quite so, and fun trying new to us things. Never would have tried a
durian had one not been brought to a picnic.
I was never in favor of the nixing of the durian, but
most of the attendees have already tried it at least
once, so the novelty value is mostly gone; and I can
get my fix any year I choose to when in southeast Asia.
Both Lilli and Bonnie currently have orthopedic
issues, though neither appears to be on a path toward
joint replacement. Both of them await results of
extensive scanning studies. Ah, the joys of aging.
Mine was sort of a given, after I'd damaged it previously. I didn't know
it had gotten as bad as it was, until it started hurting last year. Then
it took checking out verious options until all pointed to the
replacement as the best choice.
Bonnie's next MRI was at 0545 today. Results not in.
All stitches are out now, go back to therapy on Friday. In

A change to that, as I mentioned yesterday and above. Two steps
forward, > one step back.
Better than one forward and two back, which is the
way my life feels sometimes.
I've had that feeling at times also, just didn't anticipate the set
backs I've had this time around.
Perhaps one charts one's progress as a consolation
for those moments, as one can see how one has
gone beyond the baseline level.
