REVIEWS:
the secretary reviewed our summer vacation as too much traffic & a tooth broke the first night away, Southern California was uncomfortably hot - the whole rated as 'stay home & stay cool'
Carole reviewed Confluence in Pittsburg, PA as the filking was very good & concert heavy - considered it a successful convention; Bill followed, saying it was a lot of work for him, but it was good for him and he enjoyed it
Ken reviewed the SF Symphony doing music from Star Wars as recommended & mostly enjoyed
Dave C reviewed 'Oceans 8' & he wants his 2 hours back - it did not grab him & rated as 'wait for cable'
we had an auction
we adjourned at 8:41
Rumor of the week was 'Be kind to the secretary'
