Waiting patiently for the 3 minute crowd to show up. * * * “What do you look for in a woman you date?” “Well, I know everyone always says sense of humor, but I’d really have to go with breast size.” ---

I think both SR and Bricker are in EDT. So, judging from the timestamps, Bricker should be here around 10:45 EDT, and SR’s meeting started at 10, so if she doesn’t take too long, we should be good for around 10 Central. ---
