Either noonish or maybe 4pm, depending on whether we want to meet for lunch or an early dinner?

I’m thinking noonish, but could be persuaded to be later.

I would prefer 3 or 4, just because I volunteer at the food pantry on the weekends and I would have to find a replacement. Why don’t we make it 4 pm?

Some parking on the street, and also their own lot behind the building, through the entrance next to the pub. If y’all think noonish would be better, I could get someone to sub for me at the pantry.

Noon might be worse because of the lunch crowd, of course. I’m fine with any time, really.

I’m voting for 4-ish. At noon on Saturdays, I’m just getting off my horse after a riding lesson. Y’all really don’t want to have me around right then – kinda sweaty and odiferous!

Well, unless you both are, and your combined tens of thousands of posts are only part of a nefarious long term plan to make people feel comfortable enough to meet the both of you in a bar. 🙂

Also note that he left open the possibility that **Czarcasm** is a _part_-time perv.
