Thanks to Ishmael for taking notes.

We meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm, at 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA. Let me know if you want to come.

We are making progress on the boxes – we’re probably about where I expected to be last May. I can access most of the boxes without help.

I’ve found quite a lot of stuff including the printer and the old desktop computer. It looks like the good stainless flatware has gone forever, but of course it could have ended up under books in a box I haven’t unpacked yet..

The old receiver and the wok are still available, although I expect most people our age have as many of those as they want.

I had acquired a quite good set of coffee making equipment before I decided that even decaf was too strong a drug for me. So if you have any desire for a roaster or a grinder, let me know.

The paperback novels are mostly going to be donated, so if there’s an author you would like to own more of in dead-tree form, let me know, and I’ll lay them aside for you.
