you probably have my cell phone number, but I'll email it to you separately
just in case.
There's a Hyatt Regency just south of the airport (Bayshore near Broadway)
which is right on the water. The lobby is an okay place
Or... down the street from there (south on Bayshore), there's

could sip coffee and nibble on sugary fat things.
Dan, what do you think?
If we are going to do this around 3 PM, I definately will need to have

I'll pick you up. That seems smarter than meeting earlier, since the rental

making money for attorneys with the slew of lawsuits it would generate.
The question I have, is it still volunteering if it's mandatory?

I'll bet you didn't know that I'm out there. Maree and I drove
through SF today, and are staying in Petaluma for a few days. We plan
