Sitting in the middle is not a good location, unless your chairman conducting a meeting, as you are torn between two competing conversations. A round table (not available at Left Fork & Grill) wouldn't help with 14 people at the table (probably any round table will sit 8-10), so you'd have 2 tables, same problem. Its nice to see LFG with such a huge Saturday clientele, but it makes for a lot of background noise. BTW, the waitress(es) serving us were super, hate to leave them behind. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Hards" <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2015 2:34:35 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Mid-winter Liver & Onions luncheon Thanks to everyone who attended yesterday's luncheon, Kelly and I had a great time. We had 14 in attendance, a great crowd. Some new faces as well as many of the regulars. Kelly and I only had about 2 hours for lunch yesterday and my only regret is that it wasn't enough time to talk to everyone who attended. I had to get a new dishwasher installed and it took the rest of the afternoon and into the evening to go pick it up, take out the old one and install the new one, but that job is done. We've got a house bet going on which appliance will need replacing next. If we get more people than we had yesterday, we'll be looking for a new venue, as the Left Fork can't seat too many more at the long table. A different table arrangement may facilitate a more round-table discussion, as well. The way it is, it breaks-up to two halves, with only those in the middle getting the benefit of the conversations on both ends. We'll have another lunch soon, before the equinox in March. I also want to explore the possibility of a breakfast sometime, then possibly adjourning to a SLAS sun party. How does that sound? _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
