1. Where did August go?
It's only the 5th and already it feels the summer's gone. :(

I might have to do the 19th or 26th, but I'll do some checking.

34. Summer's Almost Gone
Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
Almost gone
Yeah, it's almost gone
Where will we be
When the summer's gone?
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burn gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin' sea
When summer's gone
Where will we be
Where will we be
Where will we be
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burn gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin' sea
When summer's gone
Where will we be
Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
We had some good times
But they're gone
The winter's comin' on
Summer's almost gone

4. I would love to join you all on the 12th
if you choose that date. I actually work in the triangle now as I have a job at Knightdale High. Still live in Wilson for now though.

I gave up a year toward my tenure but that isn't much of a price to pay.

5. 12th is good for me!
I'm in and out this week, not at work, sot my internet connect is sporadic.

But I just installed WiFi on my work laptop and am currently typing to you live from B&N at Southpointe. This is so cool! :-)

So would somebody call me on Sat with the location if we decide to do that? I will probably check back in on Friday, but just in case.

6. I suppose I could call. Do you still have the same cell phone number
that you had in June? And did you send me the right phone number then? And how will I know if nobody else has called you, so that I'll know that I'm supposed to call? And ... and ... and ...

Okay. I got that out of my system. Just let me know if you want me to use a different number than you sent out in June ...

17. Yes, it's the same number
I'll PM you in case you forgot. :P

I'm having fun experimenting with WiFi all over the Triangle. B&N was OK, but they have ATT WF and they charge you. :P

18. I think a lot of people started last weekend
esp the freshmen.

I'm sitting in Panera in CH right now and it looks like plenty of students hanging around.

21. The 12th then? Let's pick a place.
Any Ethiopian food fans? Anybody ever try Queen of Sheba in Chapel Hill?

22. IMO, that place is Overpriced and inconsistent- either really good or BAD.
My vote would be against doing that.

24. I'll happily defer to your advice on that. Any suggestions?
Preferences? Italian food? Chinese food? Hotdogs?

Triana has remarked: "Tyler's in Carborro are having a 1 year anniversary to celebrate Pop the Cap (popped the 'cap' of 6% beers in NC) on Saturday night starting at 7:30 - supposed to be live music, etc. $4 cover."

Flying Burrito

29. I would probably prefer
Squibs of those three. I know nothing of the burrito place and am judge the others only from websites. Ie my vote is about as uninformed as it gets and thus probably deserves little weight

I might be a little late depending on how long that trip takes. On edit I should make it.
