1. Across Woodward from the zoo, huh?

(I wonder if I can drag my carcass out and down there.)

[SharonRB]

2. You should be able to -- you're so close.

I'm going to try. I hope it's a bit warmer tomorrow. If I'm there, I'll be the one with the "I Have a Dream" sign showing Bush and Cheney behind bars.

3. It'll be very windy and warmer ... in the 40s with winds from the south up Woodward.

Getting free to participate is a bit more than just the 2.5 miles and involves other 'issues' ... but I'll do my best.

:hi:

4. I understand

It would be nice to finally meet you, though.

11. (sigh) Got pre-empted again.

"She" had a dentist appointment ... and all medical stuff takes precedence. Some day. :(

12. Oh, poo

We had a great turnout! It was a bit cold, though. Lots of horn honking going on.

It's Royal Oak, not Oak Park. They had it listed wrong on the site.

Are you going? I'm going to the Ann Arbor one.
