I’ll put it on my calendar and hope to make it. What time should we shoot for? ---

02/05/2011, 4:00 p.m. at Fuddrucker’s on Kirkwood. Got it in the calendar. Now let’s see if the fates will allow me to be there. ---

Okay, we’re within two weeks. Here’s what we have: Little Nemo: yes Everyone else: maybe How about we try to firm things up a little? Because if I’m the only one who’ll be there, I’ll probably just stay home and order a pizza instead. ---

I work within a mile of there but that Saturday will be out of town. I hope you have a good visit, **Little Nemo** , and I sincerely regret not being able to meet with you and the others. ---

My presence is iffy. Apparently you wusses can’t handle a little ice. The airports in Buffalo and Baltimore were operating but Houston shut down. At this point the next available flight will be on Sunday. But I’m going to try to get a Friday flight on standby. Worst case scenario is I make it to Baltimore or some other hub and then get stuck waiting for a day or two for the connecting flight to Houston. ---

A little ice? Nemo, anything under 70F is not fit for human beings to live in. This is Yankee weather and we don’t like it. 😃 SWMBO and I will be there. We may be the only ones there, but we’ll definitely show up. I’ll make a sign and get us a table in the back room. ---

Good news. I was able to make a connection through Chicago (where it was a balmy 7 degrees) and I have arrived in Houston. So I will see you tomorrow. ---

It was good to see you and Nemo again. For those that didn’t make it, we had a grand time trashing your reputations. Next time, show up and defend yourselves. :D:D [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/houston-meeting-in-february/562851.md?page=1)
