Glad to hear it. Sams restaruant - Ferndale. It's just past Eight
Mile on
the northbound side of Woodward.
Meeting at 8:30 pulling out of the parking lot at 10am. I'm letting
everyone
know that I want to be rolling out of the lot at 10am. The group is
getting
to be too large to be waiting around for "that guy" (which in all
fairness,
I was guilty of a few weeks ago...)
Some folks showing up earlier for breakfast, some later just for
coffee.

I'll let you know if anything changes.

Sam-you out there too?

Kev
