No Oct Meetin'

SANEsters,

The Nays have it, so there will be NO SANE MEETING in October. Nor will SANE be meeting in October. But the good news out of all this is that Boo "Clint" Radley will be available for the meetings startin' 18 Nov, which is the date of our next meetin'! He'll no doubt be standing in a hollow tree filming us during the meeting, so bring a trinket to leave in the knothole, if you know what I mean. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Sincerely,
A Smoked Ham with legs

No Place for Old Meetings

SANEsters,

News of the Thursday meeting surprised Pam A., who is unable to host, busy as she is with the high holidays of Halloween - the two other traditional hosts (Molly and Richard) are unable to attend/host, so we're down at least three people and have no place to meet. This is the thanks we get for rearranging our schedule to accommodate... I can't remember who, but I know it's someone!

Are these too many hurdles to overcome? Does one "overcome" a hurdle, or merely run/leap over it? Or does "overcome" also mean "come over" as in "leap over"?

My simplistic view is that, since the next meeting is slated for 18 November (and Pam A. is chomping at the bit to host it, and even volunteered to come up with a project!), that we abandon this poor benighted Thursday meeting and wait until 18 November - but if a host and a quorum of willing attendees make themselves known, perhaps there is a better altered native.

And furthermore, what do we do on 18 November? Do we come up with a plan, or do we put ourselves in Pam A's competent hands? And I mean that in an entirely innocent and non-suggestive fashion.

Yr. Obdt. Srvt,
Cormac
