Anybody up for lunch this Friday? We'll be doing it at the Plant Zero Cafe, as usual, at 12 noon. I'm hoping and expecting that we'll have something exciting to talk about, something like, say, oh, I don't know....THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!?!
Who can make it? Anyone?
By the way, since a good portion of the group won't never be able to make a weekday lunch move, is anyone interested in a regular, early-dinner move? What about this: we already meet to discuss books on the third Saturday of every other month (except during the summer), so what if we met for dinner somewhere on the ALTERNATE third Friday of the month when we're not meeting?
Now, look: brothers are busy; I know I am. Better to be real and say something like, "Yo, sounds great---I'd love to do it, but I know full well my schedule just can't handle it, and I'd never make it. Wish I could. Can't. Sorry, gonna hafta say 'Not'" rather than saying "Yeah" when you know it's just not possible.
But if it IS possible, like maybe an early, after-work deal---5 o'clock? Six? Which would put us home by 8, nine at the latest?---then say "Yeah," if that's possible for you, okay?
So. I'm throwing it out: is there any interest in setting up a regular, non-binding, come-if-you're-free, off-month dinner for the men of Black Men Read?! If so, say "Yeah," and if not, say "Not."
What say you?

Brother Ashe,
ReplyDeleteCurrently, my schedule does allow me to get out this Friday. Look forward to seeing you and others.
Good to hear, Rodney---so, what's your reaction to the idea of a regular, early-dinner move on off months? I have to say, I'm a little conflicted, myself. I enjoy you brothers' company (which is why I put it out there in the first place), but I'm wary of overloading committments, even when they're non-binding...
ReplyDeleteBottom line, I'd like to see if it can work. I am curious about how other brothers feel....
I can't make the Friday lunch, but I'm sure I can make the off-month Friday dinner.
ReplyDeleteHere we go... the moment of truth. I am actually logged in and about to post something (apparently concerning the lunch bunch). My statement: a dubious God Bless America!
ReplyDeleteThis truly has been a historic week. The first black president of the USA and Hobbs posts to the BMR blog. God Bless America!!!
