Thanks, yes.  Yesterday's was intended as a 'make-up day' for having
blown my intention to hold one two weeks earlier on Saturday, Oct. 10
(the regular 2nd Saturday CABAL date).

I'll try to be consistent about 2nd Saturday (virtual) CABAL meetings, 
starting with Saturday, Nov. 14th.

We're still working on how to deliver homemade pizza and garlic bread
virtually.


I'd be really, really surprised (and delighted) if it becomes advisable
to hold in-person meetings earlier than, maybe, the second half of 2021.
So, virtual is the best we have, for the duration, and we need to make
the best of it.
