At the last moment, we changed venues to Panera’s for a pretty good turnout including Harry, Brad, Lynn, Roger, Mary, John, and Cork! We pretty much had a full table but could have squeezed in a few more!
Next meeting is still scheduled for an 8 AM Central Zoom session. That could change if enough people show an interest. So far, Lynn has suggested we meet in person at 8. Mary and I are OK with that plan. No one else has expressed an opinion. Thoughts anyone?
Our Zoom session began smartly at 0800 Central with Gary as the first check-in. Followed by Mary and Roger close behind.

A beautiful morning at Gusto’s for coffee today! Even though I was on the way home before I figured out it wasn’t Saturday. Mary and I joined Lynn, Roger, and Harry on the deck completely mask-free for the entire visit. Most of the visitors were maskless as was the entire staff. We even had a…
