SPRING MEETUP POLL

[mejane]

I don't drink, so I'd be the butt of jokes...

Sorry I couldn't be in attendance, too busy fishing The Grand. Don't worry, I didn't catch anything except some steel, rocks, and a dog I think Zen lost while walking...

Hey, Rizzo, I don't drink either - next meetup you and I can nurse a couple

of iced teas, sans Long Island.

[Allison Slater]

i didn't go because I joined up only a couple days ago and know nobody yet, and i have no gas money till next paycheck =p

[egrguy]

how was the meet up?

do us non-attendees get to peruse a copy of the minutes or is it just secret to all the cool kids that attended

I second the motion for meeting minutes. Or at least the dish.

Bummed I missed it. I had the joy of transporting the wife to Detroit so she could see Tim McGraw and Faith Hill @ The Palace w/ my buddies wife.

On a plus note, she hit up Trader Joe's and got us some more wonderful Two Buck Chuck.

Hope to make it to the next GR-UP meetup.

I would have liked to go, but my brother graduated from MSU this past weekend. Maybe next time.

Mine too - I was in EL on Sunday for the Engineering graduation. Now he's moving to Phoenix. I am jealous.

Phoenix, schmenix. GR is where the actions is!

[GRDadof3]

No kidding. Do they study the densities of cacti down there? One big scorched earth suburb.

If GR was warm like Phoenix, I'd never want to leave. I hate winter.

Warm? Have you ever been outside in Arizona from May through October? Of course you haven't. No one has.

Quite true. But man - each winter that I am stuck here, the easier it makes it for me to look elsewhere (warmer) to live. As much as I love GR and the area, I think the 8 months of winter (usually, this winter wasn't nearlly as bad) will drive me someplace warm where I won't experience Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Don't get me wrong. I'd like winter to be about 1 month shorter on each end, but I'd hardly call it an 8 month winter. To each his own. Sorry that you feel you're "stuck here".

Now that we're completely off topic, apparently on the first day of summer in Yuma AZ, they would fry eggs on airplane wings. Now that's too dang hot if you ask me.

I have friends that lived down there. They always said it wasn't that bad because it was a "dry heat".

My response was "So is an oven."

Only "stuck" in the winter. Otherwise, there's no place I'd rather be.

And yes - we have moved quite OT.

[Allison Slater]

Oh what I wouldn't give for year-round Spring, with 2 weeks summer and 1 week winter.
