(I want to hear more about krokus's adventure in the forest. Did
it involve bows and arrows and a band of merry men?)

Don't know what krokus found last week, but apparently it moved to Gallup this
week and ate everyone. Arrived shortly after 1030; saw no-one. Waited till
about 1110, walked up to Geddes Rd, which I reached by 1140; still saw nobody.
Left at 1205. . . .

We've got Valerie's sister & kids visiting this weekend. We could have
walked, but it would have been three parents to four assorted infants and
toddlers in strollers, and we lacked the gumption.

re 110-112
No meery men, bows, arrows, ogres, donkeys, nor Heffalumps. Only Woozles.
And a really cute Husky puppy.

Almost forgot to mention, I was going to be at the walk, but I turned
off my alarm clock, instead of hitting "snooze" Whoops.
I won't be around the next couple of weekends, gotta go work for your
tax money. :)

other stuff.

resp:109 :: dcat asked me to fill in the lunch attendance from two weeks
ago at Jersalem Garden's porch. dcat, krokus, kendra, valerie, janc, arlo,
aruba, Carol, Paul (friend of aruba and Carol), and krj. Paul was just back
from an extended stay in Japan and so we talked about Japanese music and
culture a lot.
This week: oops, Ayse's Turkish Cafe was closed -- not due to the blackout,
but for a month-long summer vacation. My bad. I taped a note to the door and
we relocated to Cafe Marie. Attending were, in approximate order of arrival:
mary, scott, arabella, krj, anderyn, bru, dcat, valerie, janc, arlo, kendra.
This was dcat's last visit with us for a while, since he's on his way out
of Ann Arbor this week.
(Cafe Marie was the site of arabella's last lunch before she left for Bulgaria
in June, and it turns out to have been her first lunch back as well. Heh.)
The Mates-Wolter Collective were the only reported walkers.

So how did that work out?
I'd hoped to be at lunch at Mysore Woodlands this Saturday,
but I might have to work.

BTW, I would like to nominate Zingerman's Roadhouse on Jackson Road (where
the former Bill Knapp's was) for lunch, preferably on September 13, the
weekend it opens for business.

Would there be any support for debriefing at Dominick's
some fall weekend? Just for really old time's sake?

Sculpture Park (where the south tip of Detroit St. used to be, out front
of PFC) when i wandered by. The downsides of my quick & dirty plan to get
real exercise were becoming obvious about then (30-pound bookpack full of
produce from the farmer's market, shoes ill-suited to serious walking, and
several miles to hike home), so i just watched the kids as i passed.
Wandering by the restaurant earlier, they still weren't open at noon (in
spite of posted "11AM" opening time) and had signs up to the effect of
"help *really* wanted". Wonder if that's why the late opening & slowness?

Scheduling notes:
arabella & krj second mary's suggestion of Dominick's in resp:130.
Should we book that while weather still might allow dining outside?
Valerie had nominated Roadrunner Cafe near Briarwood; krj seconds.
Carol had nominated Aladdin's on Main Street (the former Main Street
Coney Island). krj seconds.
Bruin in resp:128 :: Unless a lot of other people want to try
Zingerman's Roadhouse on its opening weekend, I'm going to suggest we wait
awhile. Sept 13 is a home football game against Notre Dame with a
3:30 pm start; although the Roadhouse is not downtown, I expect it
will be jammed with football game traffic that afternoon.
Here are the remaining U.Michigan home football games:
Sept 6 Houston Noon
Sept 13 Notre Dame 3:30
Sept 27 Indiana start time TBA
Oct 18 Illinois Noon, Homecoming
Oct 25 Purdue start time TBA
Nov 22 Ohio State Noon
Sept 27 might be the weekend to pick for the Dexter Cider Mill trip, not
certain yet.
