Yes, we’ve had a lot of them lately. We like it that way. I propose Tuesday the 19th at Redbones in Davis Square. I’ll be the one wearing a bib made out of a shower curtain. ---

Davis square? That is a good ten minute walk away. You couldn’t have it somewhere closer, like my living room? 🆒 I’m in, unless for some reason I’m not. ---

We’re talking about Redbone’s at 55 Chester St. in Somerville, near Davis Sq., right? Is there any parking near there? ---

Parking on Somerville or Cambridge Streets at 6:30. Right. If you catch spaces as people leave from work, maybe. We’ll see what we can find. ---

Contrary called my attention to this thread. Of course I cannot go. Sometimes I have to wonder if one of you has access to my work calendar and schedules these things for evenings when I can’t make it. Sigh. Enjoy your yummilicious BBQ.
