I just found out I have to cover a real estate closing on Friday downtown at 9 o’clock. If all goes well, I can mee you there. If all goes crappy, I’m eating a Portillo’s burger in the car on the Kennedy.

Hope to see you there.

you know, where were these when I used to have to GO to that godforsaken burb? I’ve spent a total of a MONTH in the Wyndham on National over the years, and only saw the insides of the mall (ok, the Curragh…) ::grumble::

Well kids, I’ll be eating at Chez Clown for lunch, assuming I can get 10 minutes away from my desk to get a crappy Filet-o-fish and some McFries…

Have fun…and Abe - good luck - hopefully the traffic on 90 won’t be too bad! And thanks for the offer of a ride! 🙂

**lurker** , when do you think you might be back?

I just had dinner at the India House this week.

Order the Bindi. (Okra)

By far, the finest I have ever eaten.

I’d love to join you for lunch, but I’m stuck downtown today.

I want to thank **porcupine** and **UncleBeer** for a wonderful lunch, even though I was a little late. I got some bum directions, so they were finished eating by the time I got there. Had some good food and good conversation.

Sorry we missed you **Missy**. Hope you had a good fish sammich.

I would be up for some sort of after work dinner/drinks type shindig. That would allow those who work downtown to all get together.
