I'll throw my hand up too!

I thought about it when I went inside the Boston Public Library for the first time in months...I picked up John McWhorter's Language Hoax.

Depending on how people feel about it, we could certainly stay outside, especially as the weather will be nice soon. Sadly the little Italian restaurant across from the library closed for good, but there are other options.

I would also be interested, depending on when such a meeting would take place.

I'd be interested once I'm fully vaccinated. As usual it's tentative because things randomly come up with the kid.

If we’re up to something on short notice, I know I have Saturday, the 27th of this month off, and the weather is supposed to be decent.

I don’t know what my April schedule is yet, but probably later in the month would be an option too.

For what it’s worth, I’m fully vaccinated with Pfizer.

How funny! I took my daughter to the emergency room here in Melrose yday because on Monday she fell at school (concussion...she's fine), but while I was there, a nurse came around the waiting room asking for two volunteers. Bottom line: they had 2 doses left and needed two people. There were 2 or 3 older folks in the waiting room, but it turned out they already had the vaccine. So I got the vaccine! And it guaranteed me the second one: no waiting.

Good news! I have Saturdays available this month. I can do the 17th or the 24th. The latter would be better for me, since I have a gum graft on the 16th, unless you are all good with meeting up for ice cream.

I'm afraid I'd have to sit those out. I wouldn't be comfortable going out until I've had my second shot which will be at the end of the month. Good luck with your procedure!

If people feel more comfortable waiting another month or two, I’m down with that as well. Ideally we would have as many people as possible.

As I've said in the past, Sundays are much easier for me since I am in the city anyways. If we are planning on going to a restaurant or some such thing like has been done previously, sometime after the 2nd of May would be easier for me, since then my Lent would be over, so I am also fine with waiting another month or two.
