p.s.  As much as I like Chris and his establishment, I'm feeling 
nostalgic about Chapters.  The wide open spaces, airplanes overhead, the 
guilty pleasure of  "being seen" by the majority of the Regina 
population who know we gather there and come out to covet us.  Would it 
be out of place to open the floor to debate on whether to return there 
for the summer months?
