Yeah, but you knew what he was like and chose to marry him anyway.
This is my argument when he tells me I’m weird.
‘‘Yeah, but I don’t have a choice but to be with me. You CHOSE this. That makes you weirder.’’
hehe.
ETA: You’d choose to be with him too. All those yummy gifts he can’t eat come back to me.
So where exactly am I supposed to be and when am I supposed to be there?
Okay, I think that’s everyone but Cleophus.
Wait, now it’s just dinner? I thought we were doing museums and possibly the book trader.
i’ll be getting there a tinny bit later than 5. as i’m only a block away i should be okay.
The group activity is dinner at 5 at Maggiano’s.
Hijack
Cleophus, Meros your IT brains are needed in this thread. Short version, are the claims made by a certain hacker plausible?
and i’m out.
i forgot it was cobra week. aaarrgh!
for some odd reason i think that thanksgiving is the 3rd week of nov. not the last week of november.
i thought i had another week.
Dang those wily reptiles!
Sorry to miss you – esp. because you have missed every single dinner I’ve been to except the very first, at that brewpub up on Locust Street about … five years ago?
Check your PM – I really did want to talk Census jobs with you.
I’m getting ready to (bundle up and) head out. I think everyone knows about the change in plans except Cleophus, whom I both PMed and emailed – if anyone has a more reliable way to get in touch with him, could you get in touch with him?
First! Thanks for the fun night guys. You turned a bad day good.
Damn, you got home fast! The trains were running ridiculously late, so I ended up waiting about 45 minutes for mine. Good thing I had my Kindle with me. 
(I did switch from extinct megafauna to Sherlock Holmes, though.)
Fun time – it was great meeting the two NJites, and as always delightful to see the regulars. If I ever figure out why Photobucket won’t upload, I’ll upload the pix I took.
I had a great time! I’m only sorry we didn’t get to play Fluxx.
Next time we meet up we’ll have to discuss Mambo Chicken. Because I am going to try really hard to understand it.
It’s simple. The book is a wide-eyed look at cryonics, space colonies and rockets, nanotechnology, and artificial life.
It asks questions like-
Do we have to die?
Can you download your mind into a machine and live forever?
What are the limits of science?
It was nice to see everyone and meet some new folks. In a fit of perfectly good reasoning from bad premises, I ended up getting on a train heading the wrong way back, but since it only cost me ten minutes and an extra token, I can’t really call it an adventure.
Yeah, after we parted, I wondered why you hadn’t crossed Market Street before heading for the subway …
Ah well, More Fun With SEPTA.
I have to admit, if in some fantastical future reality I have to choose between UPenn and Columbia, it’s going to be a hard choice. Philadelphia is very charming. I might like it more than NYC.
Heh. We cool! (And, as I said, you haven’t actually seen Philly yet – hope you can come down this spring some time and walk around a little.)
Here are the pix I took in Starbucks.
