The alphabet soup gang met for lunch . . .
Sep 13, 2014,18:49 PM
. . . and lively conversation earlier today at the customary location, deep in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. A very warm 100º+ F in the early afternoon; a special note of appreciation to those who braved the heat to join our gathering.
(Sorry, Andrew, I plumb forgot to take photos of our plates as they emerged from the kitchen. Next time!)
