The book is The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo.
Woot woot.
Do we want to wait for the date to get closer before we decide who's hosting and whether we're meeting in person or via zoom?
Best,
M

Happy new year!
Thank you for asking, Beth! As much as I hate to say it, I prefer outside or zoom. I’m pretty unnerved about omicron. 
I’m happy to host outside if the weather holds up.

I’m good with inside or outside. For outside, we could go for a walk instead of sitting around freezing.

I agree with both Steph and Mel, andy thoughts are:
*If we keep it on Thursday night 1/13, I'd prefer zoom
*If we can move it to that Sat or Sun morning or afternoon (1/15-16), I'd love to do a walk and talk. (I just don't know that we can pull that off at night...in Jan...)
Happy New Year!

I vote for either outside or zoom. I agree with Susie if we do outside we should do it during the day. 

I like the idea of taking a walk but it would be hard to discuss the book when walking. One idea is we could walk and then go to a cafe that has outside dining with heat lamps. One option is Kickstand Cafe in Arlington which has heat lamps and outside seats and is open  8-3 on saturdays and Sundays.

Okay thanks!

Next question - can people do an outside meet up on Saturday 1/15 or Sunday 1/16?

Yes but that means I won’t go to Maine so we better not cancel!

16th is Taha's birthday so we are going to try to do an outdoor party
for him in the morning. If it's later in the afternoon I could still
come!
Also the 17th is MLK day... do any of you have it off work?

I’m a maybe for that Saturday and a no for Sunday. I’m definitely going to my mom’s at some point because we get her latest memory testing results on Monday. I’m not yet sure when I’ll go, I’ll definitely be gone Sunday. May or may not be around on Saturday.

Okay so sounds like we can’t get everyone free on the same weekend day so let’s stick with Thursday 1/13 and we can zoom or if happens to be 60 degrees we can meet outside. 

Soundhari can come if we zoom!
