A somewhat smaller than usual group, but no less interesting and enjoyable. A big Liver & Onions welcome to first-timer Steve Nielsen! Ray, did you reset your clock the wrong direction last month? ;-) Rodger is done skiing for the season so he promises to attend more often. Our youngest member Dylan Holmes is growing like a weed, and gives the Left Fork french fries a big thumbs-up. We didn't get to look at the sun due to solid overcast. But we were compensated a bit by some delicious pie. My blackberry creme was out-of-this-world! As usual, the conversation ranged from what some of us did to pay the bills, to composite telescope construction, solar filters, binoculars, and of course Phil Plait, plus lots of other topics. I've got to try and look ahead on my work schedule, but the consensus was to hold another session sometime in May. I'll try and toss-out a couple of dates for consideration in the next week or so, with an eye on the SLAS calendar to try and avoid conflicts. My immediate concern is to get out of the office (yes, I'm working on a Sunday morning) and get home in time to look at the sun before the seeing deteriorates and the clouds roll back in. See you next month!

Usual good food & conversation, what a couple would call "intimate", but Chuck, you left too soon. You should have seen the bowl of ice cream that Ray had. Three scoops with chocolate! Carol & I stayed until he finished most of it. 73
