**Mooommm** figure 1:30 or 2 outta No-fok-a.  
Fredburg means you could do the I’m-almost-60-&-need-to-do-early-bird-special dinner.😛  
Annapolis isn’t too far outta the way, so that could be an option too but would be closer to 6ish.

**Sari** , ifn your a comin’, I might just throw my pair of Spider boots in the car.  
**Special1** , if **Bobbio** is coming, ship me the trout & I’ll whap him for you. 😃

Piddle pup has to go out every 3-4 hours, which is why I call her piddle pup. Fortunately she lives just a mile from me and she never wants attention from me so it’s usually a quick pop in and out.  
Fredericksburg is a bit far away I think. As soon as I got there I’d have to turn around and head back home.

John von Neumann invented the fetch execute cycle for _this?_

John von Neumann invented the fetch execute cycle for this who?  
Hmmm. Doesn’t really work too well.

I beg your pardon.

Did John von Neumann invent the fetch execute cycle, upon which modern computing is based, so that adults can make bad knock knock jokes on message boards?

Please use your coaster.

No no no.

“John von Neumann invented the fetch execute cycle, upon which modern computing is based, so that adults can make bad knock knock jokes on message boards.”

OK, \*\*FCD \*\*has weighed in - if we do Fredburg, he votes for Joe’s Crab Shack.

If we want to make it more **sari** -friendly, I suggest [Rip’s](http://www.ripscountryvillage.com/) on 301 in Bowie. By my calculations, it’s about 10 miles east of I-495/95 via MD 50. It’s about an hour from my place, slightly longer from **BBBobbio** ’s and probably about the same or a little less from **sari** ’s. It’s really close to **tugig** , if he wants to play.

We’ve eaten there a few times - in fact, we dined with \*\*Cartooniverse \*\*there once when he was in DC! It’s where Dopers meet! 😃 Or there are other places in Bowie that could work. Anyway, I toss them out there for consideration. We should probably make a decision soon, huh? 😃

Home, wondering if daughter is coming for supper tonight. We’re doing sammiches and chips and brownies. Yum!

Too bad he didn’t invent any fetch execute cycles for hackers, spammers and telemarketers.
