I might bring the chew toy (or maybe not since **Merc** and **Monster** are coming - gotta keep the calendar free, just in case).

Where? When? How?
I will probably be up to my eyeballs with moving. Which means that I will either:
1. Be WAY too busy and tired
or
2. Desperate for a break.

Six weeks? I think that would be March 11, or thereabouts. Are they going to meet on a Saturday in that Mexican restaurant on the Redondo Pier again?
(A few weeks ago Redondo High alumni had a lightly-attended “Redondo Rendezvous” at the Bluewater Grill on Harbor Drive across from the old Edison plant. There’s also the Cheesecake Factory…) 🙂

March 8, right? Sounds good to **DeathLlama** and I. He didn’t get in that Saturday class, so we’re free. Count us in. 🙂

I’m a relative newbie and don’t know anybody, but I’ll try to make it.
Please be gentle… But not too gentle… 😉

I was thinking about **Rico** when I said that but now I’m wondering if I should be afraid…perhaps very afraid.

That’s great Deb! We’ll be looking forward to seeing you there.
BTW, 8 miles from the ocean (which city?)… Do you have a spare room??? I’d kill to be that close to the ocean. Actually, if they let homeless people live on the beach, I’d be homeless. 😃
We’re in North Hills, right off the 405 so it’s not that far to the ocean but I don’t get over there nearly often enough.

**High Priestess** and I probably can’t make it to the Tar Pits, but we might be able to make it to the resturant since that apparently is just a short drive from the parental units.

**cadolphin** I live in Long Beach near the 605, but like you I don’t get to the beach as often as I would like. Those evil people who employ me actually expect me to be there. What is up with that?
As for a spare room, I could probably clean out the living room closet and let you crash in there. It is only 3x3 but with a little color it could look really roomy. 🙂

I bite.
Sometimes, I bite hard. Sometimes, I bite soft. Sometimes, I don’t bite at all.
And I have had all my shots.

I wish we could come out, but we don’t get out much anymore, what with the 2 kids, one of whom (the 11 month old) was in the doctor’s office or emergency room every day last week. He’s better now though. RSV, the bane of small children everywhere this winter.
Have fun guys!
