Jerry--now you're becoming a barbershop quartet (quintet? sextet?)

Book clubs are one of the new ways people are getting together to have meaningful discussions. Coffee houses aren't a total wash; there was one in my town where a group of men, whose lives were otherwise quite disparate, met every morning before work for sixteen years for their wake-up javas. They became great supporters for each other through life's ups and downs. It was only the closure of the coffee house that caused the daily meetings to disband. I am sure the friendships remain.
