It's been way too long since I've shopped the Fatted Calf stall at the Berkeley Farmer's market...

We'll shop the Fatted Calf tonite, so stick around..."

I can't nail the reference. And, what's more, I'm afraid you'll tell me it's Steely Dan.

I guess it's from here:

but I never heard it.
This song always makes me think of working in the Post Office at Rincon Annex in 73-74

that "lysol" thing is one of the worst mondegreens EVAH.  A much better m-green in that song is "electric boobs" instead of "electric boots".

Agreed, it's a bad mondy. I find it very amusing that I NEVER knew the words to the verses of this song until I looked them up just now. I suppose I've always just mumbled along between "Hey kids" and "have you seen them yet".

Hey Joe, I had occasion to chat on the phone with Kenny O. today & he'd just randomly bumped into Mr. Armstrong yesterday, so we're already thinking of another Schwabbie reunion.  Kenny says he knows how to get word to Linda Perez as well, who apparently got wind of our last get together and asked to be included.  He wasn't sure if the rest of us would care, and I said I'd be happy to see her & said I was pretty sure you would as well.

If I'm wrong about that somehow, then you need to call Kenny before any plans are made.

Afterwards I left a message with Double D, and told him to start planning ahead.

I would love to see Linda - I have fond memories of her TOSS messages - and of course the rest of the gang.  I still need to shoot Ken (and Stan, and DD, and Kurt, etc) a note to warn of my arrival.  I get in Friday the 16th at SFO at 6:50; since I'm not going to Santa Cruz, maybe a gathering that night could work?  (I wish I could get in earlier to do happy hour, but alas.)

Wow, only 10 days til my arrival!

I'm slated to meet up with Mark and many of our fellow Schwab alumni next Friday night upon my arrival.  Beyond that, my schedule's pretty open.  I'm up for pretty much any restaurant, bar, Amoeba, or other social gathering as long as others can handle the logistics.  :ast year the Citrus Club seemed to work pretty well for mass lunch.

Any thoughts/plans?  PS: I will have some mix CDs and some gag gifts, probably to distribute as trivia prizes.

I remember offering to BBQ some meat POC was supposed to buy.  Are the both of you out here at same time?

I would be up for some kind of get together, for sure.  I will be gone fishing, though, the 16th through the 20th, and have softball on the 22nd.  So that leaves the 21st (school night), 23rd, 24th, 25th?

Mark's already offered, but I thank you kindly!

I'm down for Hayward. ;) And a BBQ on the 24th sounds good, too. We just need a venue. I'm still up for a Fatted Calf run.

I live out by the Zoo.  If you want to BBQ here on the 24th, it's cleared.  If coming out to the Sunset hinterlands is too far out of the way, I understand.
