It took me so long mostly because of the reason you cited: I was too afraid to post. Now I know that it isn't hard at all, and if I screw up, it's no biggie.
You'd said we should hold get-togethers once a quarter. If that is more often than what they used to be, how frequent were these events in the past? Just wondering.
Well, let's see - there were weekly rallies downtown during the election debacle, there was a picnic up at gorush's new place outside of Mauston last summer, that's all I know of. Mostly the rallies at Cathedral Park on Saturdays - in order to get the message out, counter the Gore supporters, that kind of thing. But pure socializing? Only the picnic and the fish fry that I know of. We most definitely must do the socializing part more often.
