Baseball “cape”? Shoulda been “cap” of course. 🙂 ---

Are people still interested in lunch this Thursday? It’s a hectic week, but I _should_ still be able to make it. **Gundy** , which Giordano’s were you thinking of? I didn’t see one with a Washington address on their [site](http://www.giordanos.com/storelocations.html). ---

It’ll be hit-or-miss for me this week – put me down for a strong ‘possibly’. (And I think the Giordano’s in question is actually on Randolph, just east of Franklin.) ---

Another “distinctly possible,” depending on how Thursday’s workload turns out, which I won’t know until late Wednesday afternoon. Also depends on my not getting arrested at the anti-Iraq war demonstration in Federal Plaza this evening. Wish me luck! ---

Yep, Randolph. TomAYto, tomAHto. 🙂 I should be able to make it unless something terrible and bizarre happens. ---

Let’s meet at 12:30 at [Giordano’s](http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Typ&addr=310+W+Randolph+St&city=Chicago&state=IL&csz=Chicago,+IL+60606&slt=41.884537&sln=-87.635790&name=Giordano%27s&zip=60606&country=us&&BFKey=&BFCat=&BFClient=&mag=10&desc=(312)+201-1441&cs=9&newmag=9&poititle=&poi=&ds=n) on Thursday, October 10. Since “just to the left of the entry” worked so well last time, let’s meet outside again. It’s still looking good for me to make it, but one never knows… ---

So who’s in for today? Unless something bad happens this morning, I should be there. Anyone else? I hate for anyone to take a 15-minute El ride only to have lunch all alone. Ok, I hate for _me_ to take a 15-minute El ride only to have lunch all alone. I don’t care about anyone else. 😃 ---
