… Smaller coffee klatsches at Starbucks or Panera where we get together, share a meal or a cup of java, and talk about things seem to work best thus far.  Some prefer day meetings, others evening meetings.  I will try to accommodate both.

Frankly, I do not like when people commit …

We do have some rules, but they are qui …
