Rats! Does that mean Diomedes is out too?
Put a big sign on one of the tables: “DOPERS ONLY” and see what happens.
Sorry I can’t be there. Same state but a 6-hour drive each way.
Where are you, the OBX?
I’m still planning on it. I’ll be there after the boys are in bed. I should be along at eight.
I’m still working 'til 6 Saturday night, but I have every intention of showing up as soon as I can get there.
I don’t know. I left him a message, but haven’t heard back yet. How late do you guys plan to be there?
I’m wondering if we shouldn’t cancel, or at least try and reschedule? As of right now, only me, Knead to Know, and **Maus Magill ** seem to be definites.
I’ll probably leave my house around 5:30…so I’ll be there after that. I’m getting sick, though, so there’s a possibility I may opt out in favor of sleep. I’ll have to be pretty sick to do that.
Got the message from Hockey Monkey today. I’m trying to corral the little woman into going along with me, but things don’t look promising, and I’d rather not make the trek down to Charlotte all by my lonesome. I think you’ll have to change me from “Probable/Definite” to “Perhaps”
Diomedes, if it helps your case at all, my wife (non-Doper) will be there too.
… and I woke up this morning not feeling my best. Barely four hours sleep last night plus working all day today leads me to suspect that I’ll be too pooped to party tonight.
FWIW, I vote for a reschedule.

Ok, I think the fates are against us today. Let’s cancel tonight and try again another time soon.
I’m all for a reschedule. Bad dates for me are Feb 16, Mar 1, and Mar 8. Provided no emergency surgeries, any other Sat in Feb or Mar are OK.
Well, nuts. The weekend of Feb. 23 is bad for me, and so is ACC weekend. Other than that I’m good.
I still think I’ll head over to O’shea’s tonight. It’s been a week.
I may show up there tonight too. Probably between 7 - 9ish. If I do, I’ll be at the bar with my wife. Just look for the guy whose wife is way too pretty to be with him. That’ll be me. 
Well, that could have been just about anybody.
I did wind up popping in for 2 pints. We got there just around 9 and were at the far end of the bar, for about an hour. Bartender Mark even wrangled 2 boxes in the Super Bowl pool out of us.
Wait a sec. Is you wife a Pittsburgh fan?
No, she’s not much of a sports fan. That must have been someone else.
I was sitting next to a couple (the wife was too pretty for the husband. (aren’t they all)), whom Mark entered into the pool.
A asked Mark and Shannon (who got off at nine) whether anyone had asked about “The Straight Dope”. I’m afraid they might have thought I was a drug dealer or something.
Ah well, next time.
