I'm Confused, Once Again

Dear All-

First of all, was not the last decision to have our reunion at Annas house? I thought we had found fault with other resturaunts (Terrace on the Park, Sly Fox, and places on Austin Street, to name a few), and that is why the meeting was taking place at Annas. Was I, once again, misinfomed? I, for one, have thought it easier on everyone, to hold our meeting at a resturaunt where we could be served, reminisce, and not have to worry about cleaning up But, I was also, very willing to go along with the flow of the majority. Are we back to entertaining ideas for resturaunts again? Il Pescatore sounds delicious and affordable by any standard. I assume having it at the hotel ( in a seperate room, not just their resturaunt) would be a bit pricier than your current quote. Bobby Falcone, for entertainment, and reconnection too, sounds like a terrific idea! No matter where or how, lets just have fun getting together. I believe thats what we all want.

Zeida, sorry if I came off as harsh, but I do realize how difficult a task it is trying to plan to make everyone satisfied - especially when you have no idea of what these people are like today. Four decades can change a lot of tastes. I was not patronizing, but just giving my long distance moral support to a thankless task. As for the "bickering", frustration with things not moving along can take many forms, as you well know. Just want us all to be positive and have fun - both putting this together, and seeing it through to fruition

John, just an idea - if worry about budget is critical, why not just have us all indicate a top figure of what we would feel comfortable paying for dinner and beverages and take it from there. That way, you know right off the bat what is in the realm of possibility for venue or menu. If we have it at a resturaunt, no one would expect a bar tab to be included in the price of the food. Naturally, that would be a seperate item for those who so desire to imbibe.

I try, from a distance, to keep as as theme "simple is better and more fun, too" to keep things from getting bogged down. I do not want to see this idea of a reunion get done away with due to too many issues. Thats my wish, anyway. If there is any CONCRETE way that I might be of assistance, just let me know and I'll be willing to do what I can.

See you all soon - hopefully. Don't really care what we eat, so long as we eat it together.
Suzette
