Ärende: Friday of picnic wee
============================
Hi Dale,

 DS>   We are planning to send out an email to all that are coming to the

Sounds good.  Did you enjoy your time at Fort Lost in the Wood, Misery?
Steve tried making reseervations at Fort Meade guest lodging but can't
do it until a week out since he's not in an official travel status.
But, we do plan to stay there unless they've no room.

Why, does he like to call if he can't find you?  Sounds like the time we
were on Maui with some friends.  We split in several directions in
Lahina and the mall; each time somebody would spot something where they
were at and call others to let them know to come look.  It was also
handy for figuring out where we were in relation to the other folks,
talking them (or us) into the rendevous point.


 RH> My only reservation about museum tours is the length of time I'd have

 RH> Both do sound interesting, the former more so because of Steve's

 DS>   I checked -- they do have seating scattered throughout the museum.
 DS> I   doubt that it will be more than 90 minute visit, if that.

Great!  I can park myself from time to time.  I know, 90 minutes isn't
that long but I can't be on my feet more than 20 minutes or so at times.
I've abused that more often than I should have and ended up paying for
it in pain.


 DS>       Title: Pork and Chickpeas

 DS>       Yield: 8 Servings

If someone would eat pork, he'd enjoy this.  He did take a taste of my
bbq ribs the other day and liked them; I've a feeling he may voluntarily
eat some pork at the picnic.  How much he eats involuntarily--if he
doesn't know it's pork--should be interesting. (G)
