I’m a maybe - got a sick kid who’s now on antibiotics for the first time, so I’ll have to see if he gets side effects or not. ---

I’ll try to come once more before I move back to Boston, but not if I’ll be the only one there. ---

We’d love to see you again, **Robot Arm** , but this is probably not the week for it, given how few of us will be there. I’m hosting next week’s quiz, and I’d be delighted if you came out for it. ---

I want to be there, but my boss hasn’t given me the word yet on whether I have to work late. So–maybe. ---

**November 8** Sam is hosting, and the requested round is “Insufferable Robots.” There’s a hint for another round, too: “Happy Vets Day.” I’m planning to be there tonight; anyone else? ---

I’m probably in, though it depends on how tired I am and how sick my wife is getting – our colds are overlapping but not in sync. **Cervaise** is out. ---

“Insufferable Robots” sounds like such a fun round. But I’m going to miss it. I have a meeting of my software users’ group. ---

Does anybody remember any of the insufferable robot questions, and did I make the list? ---

**Nov. 15** Tonight: Jason B. and Jen (of Steve Holt! fame) host. I’ll be there. **Cervaise** is most likely going to be there. Anyone else? **Robot Arm** , I was unfortunately unable to attend last week, so I have no idea how the robot questions went. Anyone else? ---

I’ll be there tonight. Last week, **Robot Arm** was fondly remembered by those Smurfs in attendance, but I don’t think he made it into a quiz question. Clearly an oversight. ---

I’m going to try to be there, but the future is uncertain. If I’m not there by 7pm or so, I’m not going to make it.
