Commentary on August 21st Meeting

      I am informed, since I was ill and could not attend, that the meeting went well; although Ken was accused of trying to unseat me as "the curmudgeon." I have since had to relieve Nadine of her duties as interim "recorder of vital data" since she failed to take notes, and has bowed to her failing memory. Jimmy roled his eyes and noted, "bow-wow." Apparently even he found the excuses a bit suspect. So I have but a few notes to pass on.

 Next Meeting: September 18th at Nadine's. (G &C will be out of the country once again until October 16th. I am hereby suggesting that we make the October meeting on the 23rd. so that Nadine will be back from her travels and can host again if the girls are unavailable. Thoughts/comments will be heard at the next meeting.)

Other: I have been asked to recommend a chapter to begin our new journey. I find the section titled Relationships particularly helpful, so I suggest that for the next meeting everyone will have read, digested, and be prepared to expound upon "The Search" pg.77-82.
