Ladies lunch at Patrick's in Bachman's

The monthly luncheon meeting of school chums M'liss Bock and Kathleen Neilson was held today in the leafy green recesses of the Bachman's Garden Center on Lyndale, in Patrick's Bakery and Cafe. The meeting lasted the usual four hours. Despite sticky weather and the lack of air conditioning, participants were reasonably comfortable and managed to not sweat much at all.

Old business (Chuck and Stan) was discussed and approved.

New business included thorough discussions about the old St. Paul neighborhood, children and grandchildren, last night's CNN debate as well as the following topics:
  • Can Linda Letnes really predict your property taxes?
  • Texas Hold 'em strategy
  • Locations of upcoming poker games
  • Benefits of comfort height toilets
  • Baby Vikings outfit for Sosie to take to Norway
  • Husbands stuffing their garages with useless building materials
  • Having your picture taken under an umbrella so it looks like a hat
  • Getting leaks out of M'liss' much-loved camping trailer with gorilla tape
  • Fraidy holes

A proposed discussion item on topical estrogen vs. oral estrogen was tabled by M'liss. Tonight's supper for Chuck or Stan did not come up.

Respectfully submitted.
