Subject: status

Enough of you have asked if you've dropped off the list, that a status
update seems in order.

The mailing list is up and happy.

But both ambar and I have been too busy (hmm, hassled ?) lately to go
out to dinner.

It doesn't take a lot of time to organize a kabuki.  Much more time to
travel to one, chat and eat!  Here's what I do:

- pick a restaurant, time (usually 7pm), and date (usually a Tuesday
  or Wednesday).
- make a reservation for 12 people.
- announce the dinner to the list, the week before and ask for RSVP's.
  include MBTA and automobile  directions to the restaurant, and it's
  address and phone number. 
- call the restaurant mid-afternoon of the date and fine tune the
  reservation.  I usually use: (# of yesses) + 1/2 (# of maybes) + 2.

Know that you all know the wizardly incantations, hopefully one or
more of you will organize a kabuki!  

enjoy -len
