Were You at the Meeting Last Night?

If not, you missed a brain-exploding show!

Ron and Dave (Garry was unable to join us, but Ron filled in admirably) both gave great presentations. We learned practical things, and technical things, and Dave spoke English into his iPhone, and it translated and spoke back to him in Spanish! I kid you not.

Coco’s was almost more discussion than dinner: music (classical and otherwise), movies and TV shows, bad puns and other word games…

That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!
