date for another session?

Okay, who's available when? As usual, any Monday is good for me.

Here are 3 tenative dates: Nov 3, Nov 10, and Nov 17.

Respond as to which dates are good for you and we'll pick the one with the most people.

they all look good,
3 rd is my birthday and you'll be here sunday anyway,

10 th nothing

17th is Jenns PTA meeting so I must be here but I can still play

I should be good for any of those dates.

Well that showed a resounding lack of interest.

I'm still good for this coming monday but it looks like we only have two.

Doug is unavailable
Craig is perhaps off drinking tequilla again?
Harrison no response????

Publically shared calendars (e.g., Google/GMail calendar) might be a solution. Someone could select Mondays where no one is booked; I assume each person could then accept or deny the "appointment". Plus, a calendar is a good all-around tool for managing one's time.

Yes Craig is gallavanting around AztecLand(tm).
I'll give Harrison a (figurative) boot to the head and see when (if at all) he's available.

my extra curricular activities are a little curbed at the moment as I am studying for my PFP (a bunch of letters which stand for some financial designation, and is a big pain in the @ss). Didn't realize how frik'n difficult it is to study after all these years...
I am hoping to be done studying and the three exams by new year <fingers crossed>

I take it two are not enough?


I tried to rope Giles into playing but he never answered

Happy Birthday, Carter. (All else being equal, do they get slightly less happy each time?)

they certainly don't seem to get more exciting or more fun with age. I think the realization that no one can give you the time , quiet, acreage, mules, bunker or bullion you really want makes them too anticlimatic.

Have you read world war Z ? you can borrow it after Jonathan.

That book about the walking dead people was ok until the last chapter and fell apart with a week ending. Thinking it was an abberation I took anohter of his books out of the library and found the exact same thing. Good ideas, fairly creepy, piss poor finale.

I was thinking that each birthday is a reminder that we're one year closer to the crypt, one year weaker, one year more vulnerable to disease, etc. On the other hand, we are perhaps a year wiser, a year more experienced, and a year closer to our goals.

Book sounds intriguing, but I'll take a pass based on your evaluation of the ending.

I think you should reconsider The Black Swan. It is a new way of looking at the world--and at us.

I'm not available for any of those dates (especially yesterday). Realistically, I'm out until sometime in to December.

Steve the book I was slagging was the book you loaned me about the dead people who walk off into the desert to serve the old dead witch lady.
The Walkers

I borrowed another of his and found the same issue with the ending being weak.

world war Z however was pretty good.

Ah, I didn't know you were talking about 2 different books. I didn't much like The Walking, either. It had a great opening line, and was built on an interesting concept, but then it went to hell (in a bad way). I picked it because of the great reviews on Amazon.com. Note to self: take amateur reviews with a grain of NaCl. (I also read Wicked based on online reviews; it was okay; maybe it deserves a second chance.)

World War Z, eh? (I'm backlogged with books-to-read, argh.)

P.S. I don't want The Walking back, so you can pass it on to someone who might like it.

I take it the next monday offered the 17th is still no good for the majority?

Craig is back in town. I'll see him tomorrow night (Sat) at the movies, so I'll ask him then if he is free Monday. I think Mr. Lalanne is free, but I don't know if that has changed since he last looked at the forum. I'm willing to go with 3 peoples.

I'm still good for the 17th.

P.S. Which movie? Based on Ebert's review, I want to see Synecdoche, New York.

Quantum of Solace: 7/10.

Alright. Tomorrow (17th) is a go at Craig's place, starting at 7ish.

ok, I'll be on

I saw it on Sat., too, and I also give it a 7/10.

So are we on, where?

Doug is back from hungaria but has end of month bean counting things to do, so not available.
