Hey, Roger: I just got back from Quinn's Lighthouse--Dave Swan, Ralph (Fadac), Sonja, and I shared a table and we listened to the Sons of the Buccaneers--one of whose members is also a Mudcateer! Name's Lloyd (I heard his last name but don't remember it). He playes concertina and may start teaching Sonja. I got a picture of Dave, Sonja, and Ralph, a seperate one of Sonja, and a bunch of the band, and Ralph took one of me (but I'll post a picture of me taken by one of the students at Independent Studies (not one of my students, but he used my camera). Quinn's is a great place--I had a pale ale and a buffalo burger: very tasty once I slathered it with Grey Poupon (Dave--who's a Piedmont fireman [lives in Oakland]--had a veggie burger; Ralph had filled up on peanuts and mini-hot dogs before any of the rest of us arrived).

(I keep stacking up the parenthetical remarks [dig the three-deep one above--brackets inside dashes inside parentheses {I just wanted to see if I could go four deep}--].)(I did.)(I'll try for five or six later--I've still got commas and quotation marks, single and double [so enough, already].) Someone stop me before I kill again. --seed
