Uh-oh... Schultze is ready to be picked up from Atlantic Autowerks...I won't be able to make it to QSL this evening.  Last patients are scheduled at 530, which means I won't even get out of the office until 630 and then there's the traffic. We'll figure something out... Well, I can leave the CD with the gang. Plus my train club is just up the way off at Rt. 17 and Dare Road in York County. |

Well guess what...I had a client call this morning indicating the need for a crucial meeting early this evening....so...I was not able to meet up with the group here. In fact, I just got home. I assume and hope you guys are having a good time. Looking forward to hearing how it all went.

Cheeseburger in Paradise was great. Fernando was an awesome waiter. Finally met John.
Still waiting for my chance to try QS&L. But will eventually.

I should really pay more attention to the details of meets. I saw QS&L as the title and thought, "Man those guys are SERIOUS about their road trips, to run all the way to Ohio for dinner!" Didn't realize QS&L was a chain  |

Hey Dale, it was good to meet you too. Finally!!!! I did meet Regina a couple years back when she stopped by are table at Carrabas during a Christmas Party. She probably didn't remember, but that's alright. As far as QS&L go's, let the shop run itself one day during the lunch hour and I'll be happy to sit, eat and chat one on one if Ya want, who knows, we may even be able to teach each other something at the same time.  |

Hey John, Thanks for setting this up. It was a nice diversion during the work week, and "Bertie" was looking stunning, as usual. I'm going to get into QS&L on wing night one of these days, but our backup plan was a great choice. Really nice that we were seated right away and that were all able to sit together |

...."according to Monique, 12 of us around 7 tomorrow night should not be a problem".... famous last words
I guess Miss Monique had no business answering the phone and being the spokesmodel for QS&L the other night. I heard from John about the sellout crowd you all encountered. Glad to hear however, that the contingency plan worked out well for all of you, and sorry I missed the party.

We all had a great time and impromtu is our second name so we had no issues. The Pina Coladas are awesome! Except perhaps the almost incident in the traffic circle?  I'm saying Steve is the bad boy and Mike was just following MINI protocol. That's my story and I sticking to it. |

Was that HRMINI protocol? Becuase I didn't know. I saw it from a safe distance and thought that perhaps Mike just wasn't too sure of which parking area we wer'e going to use. As for Steve doing what everybody else does, was that wrong? My enquiring mind would like to know. Then, maybe I'll be better prepared the next time I encounter a traffic circle and there should be another MINI in it.  |

My understanding of the law of traffic circles is you always go one way in a counterclockwise direction with the people on the circle having priority over those arriving to enter. There aren't too many in VA, but tons in NJ and DC (one in City Center of Oyster Point I drive regularly). I am pretty sure I saw Steve go clockwise. MINI protocal is to go completely around the circle one time - just for the fun of it. Read that in one of those MINI propaganda statements. I am just messing with you guys.  No harm was done and we all had fun. I'm not the traffic police... I just put my hands over my eyes for a second!  |

Remember all the roundabouts on the DC Spring Fling? They're everywhere up there!
