New Business
DaveG Has been filling in as Acting Sergeant in Arms. The Sergeant in Arms is not an officer, and not suspect to the 13-week rule, and the rules do not prohibit there being two. He therefore nominates Jerry Majors-Patterson. Seconded, and passed unanimously.
In honor of her appointment, proposes naming Jerry as Pistol Packin’ Mama.
Amended to Laser Pistol Packin’ Mama (the laser is silent). - Which passed.

Reviews
Andrew Last night watched Instinct (CBS) with Alan Cumming, playing a married gay psych prof who is ex-CIA agent. Based on James Patterson book. Pilot was shaky, should have been 2-parts. Looking to see if writers can pull it off. Goldberg was fun, but irrelevant.
Carole: Cumming’s character can be an insufferable twit. - Gerold concurs
The detective is also insufferable, and the tension is derived from the clashing.
Gerold: The main character is an author, and he enjoyed the bits about publishing.
DaveC On FB a few people saw signs for chili that had a double entendre. Has since got a 4-pack of skyline chili, and tried it (didn’t notice the shake before opening note) Lots of water, with ingredients reduced to a pulp. Nothing like the picture on the can. Smelled awful… Flushed it down the toilet.
Vikas Andy Weir’s Artemis. Young lady grown up on the moon, finds herself in a political situation in the colony. Very likable main character, light on the nitty-gritty. Character driven. Seems written for Hollywood. 4/5 stars
evilKevin: There are way more explosions than The Martian
Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks. Magnificent space opera. AI controls large chunk of a galaxy, and the fringe elements. 5/5
Bill Went to see A Wrinkle in Time - 2D. Stunning visuals. Well realized characters, and very diverse. Entertaining with nice message. Worth full price.
Carole wants to learn how to do the Leaf Dragon.
Jerry Curtis Chen now has a short story in Playboy. Go Space Racer - Cute short story, like Reno Air Races but in space (he is Campbell eligible).
We had an auction.
Meeting adjourned at: 21:22 and the rumor of the week was: Once you have opened the can, mr. skyline chili is not your friend.
