I’ve often toyed with the idea of becoming a Holy Trinity, but I’m not sure how to pull it off.

MilliCal will be away next week at camp, so there won’t be three of us in any case. Still not clear if Pepper Mill wants to show.

D’oh! **EddyTeddyFreddie** as well. And **Happy Scrappy Hero Pup**.

Maybe if we see these folks in other threads, we can make a slight hijack.

And I know I’m forgetting other people.

One of these years…

I’m about to make the reservations.

If you’re coming, can you ring in so I can get an accurate count?

It looks as if Pepper Mill and I will both be coming. MilliCal is at camp this week, so she won’t be there.

Cool. I look forward to seeing you both.

Now we just have to figure out where to meet. I tried making reservations at McCormick & Schmick. The first available slot is on August 9th.

Count me as a no…I just got out of the hospital, and am still pretty woozy on my feet…a trek into Boston probably isnt what I need right now…

We need reservations? Ugh.  
Soemone else mentioned the Black Rose. Maybe we should go with that instead.

Either way, I’ll be there. Wherever there is.

**Pamipoo** , I hope you feel better soon.

I e-mailed them about reservations. I can’t call for another couple of hours. If you’d like to, the number is 617-742-2286.

Bummer, **Pammipoo**.

Yep, and we’ve got 'em. McCormick and Schmick’s it is, after all. Their website would not give them to me, but a phone call did.

Nice job. M&S is the place with all the outdoor dining, right at the end of the row, right? Super fly!

I was actually thinking I might not make it, after all. I just started my new job, and Summer Session II class starts tonight. The only two classes I need that they are offering this session are Monday & Wednesday nights. I just decided I’m not going to take the class after all. I need a break from school so I can focus on job performance.
