Historical Attendance Response: I don't know if anyone walked at
Bird Hills on October 4. A group of non-walkers came to savor the
nostalgia at Dominick's: mary, remmers, bookie, arabella, krj,
aruba, Carol. Wow, I had forgotten how old-fashioned that place was.

Yesterday's walkers were valerie, janc, arlo, kendra, kaplan, mutsie, ross,
chanur, Carol,aruba, and krokus, who caught up to us near the river. It was
indeed a very slow walk, because it was a nice day and there were lots of
rocks to climb on. We left poor Ken waiting at Kai Garden for an hour
before we arrived (around 1:30). Thus the decision to reset the walk time
to 10:00, in an effort to make it again possible for people to join us for
lunch at a reasonable time, and to ensure that a little bit of Saturday
daylight is still left after lunch.
I don't think it's right to say "the regular walkers decided" to make the
change; not all the regular walkers were there, and anyway I have a problem
separating Grexers into the categories of "regular walkers" and "not regular
walkers". Everyone should feel welcome to come on a Grexwalk, because
everyone *is* welcome.
But anyway... I forgot (despite Valerie's reminder) to ask for no MSG in my
food at Kai Garden, and once again got a monster headache in the afternoon.
I guess I learned my lesson this time, and have no doubthat it was the food
that did it to me. I'm undecided on whether I want to go there again and
remember to ask for no MSG; I feel more inclined at the moment just to skip
it all together. But maybe I'll feel more adventurous when the time comes
around again.

Pretty good turnout for the lunch plus cider mill in Dexter
today. In rough order of spotting we had remmers, mary, aruba,
Carol, valerie, janc, arlo, kendra, scott, danr, Sylvia, krj.
Perfect fall weather for a cider mill visit.
I didn't walk, so somebody else will have to say who did.

Walkers who left at approximately 10:04 were janc, arlo, danr, Carol, and
aruba. Valerie and kendra started later and walked backwards, so we met
them on Geddes. We finished about 11:40.

re #9 and 10 ... practice makes perfect. I'd recommend trying it on
level ground first, then move to more difficult terrain, such as the
arb.

Don't forget the glasses with the mirrors mounted on them.

(if the walk time has been reset to 10am, the MOTD should reflect
the change.)

This morning, Mutsie and I were the only walkers. We started at 10:04,
arrived at the traditional resting spot at 10:37 (but did not stop), and
got back in the car at 11:11.
People I saw at Cottage Inn were chanur, Ross, valerie, janc, Arlo,
Kendra, mary, remmers, polygon, and Sarah. Carol and aruba said they
were going to head over to Cottage Inn too. Unfortunately, lunch
started too early. I did not get to see Carol and aruba.

We arrived just as valerie and polygon were pulling out of the parking lot.
So we had lunch by ourselves. :(
Sorry for wimping out on the walk this morning. It was raining at 8:30,
though I think it had stopped by 10.

No, there was light rain for the early part of the walk. We might have
avoided the rain if we had started walking at 10:30! ;)

(heh. the rain scared me off this weekend, too. I'm getting too old
to walk around wet for lengthy stretches.)

According to the motd, the after-walk lunch this week is at the
Michigan State game. No thanks. :)
(I assume that's a typo...)

Actually, if the lunch location is still up for grabs and the
intent is to avoid football traffic, I'll put in a vote for
La Fiesta Mexicana in Ypsilanti.

Not a typo, but a place-holder. I think the lunch czar has yet to pick a
place. The game is out of town, so it shouldn't affect the lunch choices.

Yup, I messed up. Thanks for the suggestion, John, but I don't want to
do an Ypsi-side place two weekends in a row, or on a Bird Hills Saturday.
I'll come up with something here shortly. Duh.

Right, if there's no home game there's no overriding reason to
do Ypsi.
