June Meeting- the 23rd

We were riding light this month... busy summer days of travel and the like... but a healthy group made it out to Lindsay's place for our first meeting outside of D.C.

Steve C. selected The Monkey's Paw by W.W. Jacobs in a loving tribute to the Simpsons

Monkey's Paw just keeps popping up over the last few days... just last night on Colbert he mentioned the Monkey's Paw in relation to the oil spill.

Good news on a new possible member- Ohio's loss is D.C.'s gain with Lauren. We'll see if she actually gets a glass.

The Scotch this week was Xi's pick-- delicious.

May meeting memories

The May meeting went great. Alex chose "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson:

Some of us had read the story in school- it was new for others. Glad my name isn't Tessie Hutchinson.

Next meeting to be held in VA!
