[Wreck It Ralph]

Until further notice assume all meetings will be held on the same bat channel and same bat time.

We have had too much backlash on the idea of moving locations.

[GTRS Fiero]

Thanks.  I agree.  Lots of moving.

I don't care what you call me.  Just don't call later for dinner.................................

Are there still some people who don't attend, due to COVID?

That's a major part of it, for me.
We've tried really hard to be careful. (Have been to one "sit down" restaurant since it all started. )
Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, now. Don't want to eff it up. Just trying to be patient, and careful for a bit longer.
