Gold plated bathroom fixtures creep me out. So "Cribs" so "I have too much money and need to show it off gratuitously so what can I stick gold on NOW."
Luxury is neat and all and not every penny a person earns needs to save the world. Exquisite craftsmanship is certainly worth doing and enjoying. Billion count sheets feel wonderful. Amazing food, travelling the world...those seem worth their pretty pennies. But once you're randomly finding stuff to gold-plate you've surely got a few starving babies somewhere on your soul.
Google news is reporting West Nile and Elephantisis in Las Vegas. They don't think it will spread to humans, but ...

How to answer this carefully, and keep it disengaged...
Okay.
Stuff on your soul? Maybe you do. As a member of AI since long before it became fashionable, and as one half of a married couple who've fostered 18 kids around the world since 1981, I don't. I just don't happen to think that sourness over enjoying the occasional luxury negates what I do with the rest of my the disposable income, which, to a large degree, would be traditionally defined as "good works."
But, whatever pegs the meters. Not sure what that particular jeremiad has to do with organising a face to face, either, and really don't much feel the need to know.

Well, then I guess I wasn't talking about you then, was I? I guess it wasn't about you at all. There is no need to be disengaged or engaged or anything else.

The conversation moves in and out of strictly organizing, doesn't it? People said they did or did not like this or that and I expressed a distaste for a skillless (as opposed to craftsmanship) gratuitous display of wealth.
So, quick review: 1. Nothing to do with you 2. Lots of opinons expressed. 3. This one just happened to be mine.
I think that, personal feelings aside, neither gold-plated bathroom fixtures nor gaggles of small children are requirements for the F2F. I mean, what hope would Phoenix have?
Cabana boys, though...
Now, gold-plating a cabana boy...
t morphs into Bond villain
Cabana boys, though...
Don't forget the cabana girls, Abi - why should the girls get all the perqs?
Cabana boys should be on the required list. If for some cruel reason the location selected does not provide them, then the Buffista boys will have to pitch in and help with the palm-frond-fanning and grape feeding duties.
eta: yes cabana girls should be included too. Actually I really don't care the gender of the person fanning and feeding me.
D'oh. Sorry. Me being all stereotype reenforcing. Girls should be able to be of the cabana just as much as the boys!
Hmm.... A cabana girl does sound nice....
