When I was younger<br>that was not so much but now when I got back from the meeting on<br><span class="Object" role="link" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT44_com_zimbra_date">Sunday</span> I was too tired to do anything else. Also through the dark streets<br>at night makes me nervous these days.<br><br> However if anyone wants to meet at other times I will be happy<br>to help them if they cannot wait for a meeting at the Cafe Enchante<br>or whatever other public venue we end up at. I would rather see a<br>meeting on the <span class="Object" role="link" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT45_com_zimbra_date">2nd Sunday</span> whether it is two or three hours but<br>while I will be happy to be there at the start of meeting I cannot<br>state unequivocally that I will be there until the end of the meeting...<br>If the group keeps the meeting on <span class="Object" role="link" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT46_com_zimbra_date">1st Sunday</span> with extended<br>hours the same is true.<br><br> And I hope more than the few meeting attendees will give<br>us the privilege of their opinions.<br><br> Bobbie Sellers<br><br>On <span class="Object" role="link" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT47_com_zimbra_date">9/2/19</span> 9:37 PM, Todd Hawley wrote:<br>> On <span class="Object" role="link" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT48_com_zimbra_date">Mon, Sep 2</span>, 2019 at 4:53 PM jim <<span class="Object" role="link" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT49_ZmEmailObjectHandler">jim@well.com</span> <br>> <<span class="Object" role="link" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT50_ZmEmailObjectHandler">mailto:jim@well.com</span>>> wrote:<br>><br>><br>> Thank you, Bobbie.<br>><br>> My health has degraded over the last few<br>> years, now to the point that evenings out<br>> require more energy than I have.<br>> I have previously been able to get to<br>> <span class="Object" role="link" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT51_com_zimbra_date">Monday</span> evening meetings and afterward drive<br>> Bobbie and usually one or two others to their<br>> homes or bus stops and such.
