Oops, I think when I mentioned that, Ken, I was thinking of Mary's #135,
which is unrelated to the Dexter trip. Sorry.

This week's walk and lunch ran in shifts. The first shift consisted of
Bird Hills walkers aruba, krokus, scott, plus an unnamed guest who found
the Grex Walk listed in the Ann Arbor Observer.
The unnamed guest didn't go to lunch; the remaining three proceeded to
Sabor Latino a bit before noon.
Leslie and I arrived at Sabor Latino around 12:40, figuring that people
would be as late as they were last week. :/
The last shift started with janc, valerie, kendra, arlo, chanur, kaplan
and ross, they had done a Children's Walk on the Gallup Park playground
loop. They were joined by polygon, sgsk and mjg. So, the total lunch
crowd was 15, though not everyone was there at once.
Sabor Latino was very accomodating about moving tables around with
all the late arrivals. Most of us left around 2 pm.

We didn't get his last name, I'm afraid. But he was not a Grexer, and
therefore was not Bruce Price.

One of these days, I'll actually make the regular walk at Bird Hills.

Heh. I usually have a request this time of year for the cider mill trip,
but I think I'm going to cheat on Dexter--we have halfassed plans to go to
a different cider mill with Don's parents on the lone appropriate weekend
I'll be in town. Thanks for thinking of me!

OK, I'm probably going to set the Cider Mill trip for Sept. 27 then,
as that is a football saturday.

re 145
I've been there for walks, but never made it on time to walk with everyone
else. Thusly, I go wander amongst the trees for awhile, then come back
and wait for everyone else.

I had a pretty good sandwitch at a new place in Depot Town last week.
(Well, new to me any way. I'm not sure how long it's been in business.)
I think it would be a good spot for a grex walk lunch.

Haven't been to Zingerman's Roadhouse myself, but another stagehand reported
some serious sticker shock. "$20 for a chicken dinner!"

A workmate went, said that there was an hour and a half wait for a table, and
that it was $17.50 for gravy and biscuits and $11.50 for mac and cheese. I
think I'd definitely never eat there.

I'd expect the wait times to drop as they get fully staffed, but I can't
imagine the prices going down.

Places usually have long wait times when they first open, due to
staffing issues and higher traffic. Sounds way too rich for my blood,
though.

We had a team lunch there today, it was pricey, the service was pretty good
considering it's the first week, but my food was disapointing. I (in
hindsight foolishly) paid $11.50 for the mac and cheese. My other team
members liked their food, but we all commented that the prices were too steep.
Maybe it's because it had the ghost of Bill Knapp....;-)

Sorry I missed everyone at Roadrunner Diner today. Either I was
too late or too early; I was there from 12:40 to 1:10.

kaplan, ross, mutsie, barney, aruba, and Carol walked today. We started
pretty late and finished later, and apparently missed Ken at the Road
Runner. (We got there about 1:15.) It was a beautiful day for a walk.

Zingerman's has generally found that customers will line up outside
their door & down the street no matter how high their prices are.
They've reacted to this like rational business people, and are very
generous with local charity.

Hey, lining up for food is part of the Deli Experience. People have
come to expect it. :)

Sorry about that, Ken. Not only did I arrive late, but I was unable to
park the car right away because a tow truck was blocking the driveway as
it was working to get a car out of a parking space.
With Ross in the backpack and Mark and Carol helping with the dog
leashes, much of the walk proceeded at a normal pace. But I turned Ross
lose a copule of times and he had a lot of exploring to do! ;-)
