I think we could start a little earlier. Maybe meet around 11am. If
it's going
to be a miserable day, it's going to be a miserably day and we should

I like the idea of stopping for a snack and a brew. Of course if you
make it
lunch in an interesting place, it will attract more of the ladies to
come
along.
