So, the whole TSA stuff? I have Thoughts and Many Comments, but by and large, I try to avoid commentary on political events here, since when I go back through my life, it's not the politics that I think about. Suffice to say that yes, I am disturbed. Yes, I have been subjected to enhanced "pat downs," and yes, it was offensive. I may write it up another time.
For now, I deal with light-hearted fun!
In response to
this poll, it looks like we'll do dinner on Saturday (4 December)(sorry Spider :(). After I made the poll, having drawn a blank for WEEKS ON END about where the hell to go that could accommodate a group of folks, and have food that most anyone would like,
Buca di Beppo in Pineville popped BANG! into my head. They have really yummy Italian, a fun environment, and the whole place is rooms, so no worries about having to get a separate one. Yay!
SO! 7 pm, 4 December, at Buca. Biggity bam.
If you think someone wants to come and mayhap isn't here (which is most people anymore, I suspect), please feel free to let them know - and, um, shoot me a text or email or something, so I can adjust the rezzie as necessary. I went with a rough count, but if I need to go up or down for them, I prefer to give as much notice as possible - I find restaurants get kinda weird about it when you change party size on them without warning, you see :P
Regardless - I would love, love, LOVE to see you there. Too many of you, I don't see often enough, and I bear a lot of responsibility for that -
especially given my propensity for passing out at ten every night anymore - but I do miss you. Very much.
