Members Present: Jerry, Robin, Mandy, Wendy, Ann, Steve
Drinks: The usual (that lovely pink thing that Robin drinks does stand out)
Conversation: Halloween- the "in" thing for the tiny tots are these adorable stuffed-animal suits that really look like you took your favorite stuffy- opened it up and took out all the stuffing, replacing it with your 8 month-old child, and zip them right up! Very cute. Besides that adorableness, Jerry was spotted wearing a cowboy hat and bolo tie! Yes, it's true. The chaps and spurs rumor was, unfortunately, false. However, Robin had a twinkle in her eye when she talked about a possible repeat of that outfit, so who knows what's next??
What's Everyone Up To? Mandy is still working on her MFA, moving into a new place this weekend (a place that actually has a heater and uses it!), and went to visit some friends in Portland this weekend. She is also the new Head Coach of Girls Basketball at Evergreen Junior High! Congratulations to Mandy!
Robin is continuing to update her kitchen and bath. She also, unbelievably enough, is already planning her boys' Christmas presents. What an awesome mom!
Jerry- hmmm, what is he up to? That man needs to talk more. He is planning to cook a very small bird for Thanksgiving dinner- not squab (sp?)
Wendy- I'm loving my new job. I actually have time to think about teaching! Crazy. I am thinking hard about buying a new car. Gas is more and more expensive and we sit longer and longer in traffic so it will likely be a Prius. It just seems like the right thing to do.
Ann and Steve- both have great new jobs. Ann even has lovely business cards with all kinds of contact information! Steve is a little bit worried about possibly having to be on call. I can't say I blame him.
Hey, I have a question, are you managing to get books? I would worry about that and I'm wondering if you've found a way to read.
We are all missing you both. I had that eerie feeling, once again, of looking forward to seeing you right there at the Capitol Club, and then realizing that I wouldn't. So, I went on your blog and looked at your pictures! Thank you for posting those. It's very comforting.

How nice to hear from Wendy! Glad to hear everyone is having a nice fall. There was no Halloween here so it went by us without us even noticing. We are reading quite a lot. English books are easy to get here but will be more difficult to find in Nepal. I like to read titles concerning the countries we visit. It really adds some insight to our travelling.
I do have to give a shout out to my man Jerry for keeping me posted on my girl KH. How I miss her so! I immediately followed the NY Times link and started drooling. LOVE HER!
and you guys too! thanks for keeping us in the CC loop.
