Tuesday, September 1 is an election day, so I will be working at the polls. At the August 25 meeting, nobody who attended was able to volunteer to take over letting people in and getting the meeting started. So unless you hear otherwise, we will not be meeting that day, and will resume our regular meetings on Tuesday, September 8.

Next Tuesday, September 1, is an election day. So if people want to meet, other people are going to have to do all the things I normally do until I get there. They are implementing a new checkin system using computers, which of course should be faster and easier, and some of the people who believe that have probably also bought bridges.

We actually attempted to cancel this one, since everyone who was outside in the rain at 7PM didn’t feel like going out again. But someone who was inside then left without checking email. So we played some of the 2-part pieces from the beginning of the Dowland Second book, and then drank beer and ate fresh-baked bread.

We played:

Dowland: I saw my ladie weepe; Flow my tears; Sorrow, sorrow stay; Die not before thy day; Mourne, mourne;
