Ok, ok...I admit it. I like getting to gether with sf friends on Fridays
too, and the lateness of the meeting makes it easier.

I not sure that Friday night is the only or best time for social
life.  Plus, I've certainly been out to bars with co-workers, etc.
on Friday evenings, and then finished up at WSFA.  Our meetings
don't preclude outside social activity, and ANY regular meeting
will conflict with other events on occasion.

It really is.  It kinda doesn't matter that I'm tired.  Maybe
it's the faerie twilight through which we travel between the worlds
of work and weekend.  Or may I'm just used to it.

Be seeing you,
