Thanks to planned Parenthood, it's hard not to read "EC" as "Emergency Contraception" Sorry...

it was always filled with awesome book-reading women

::weeps and weeps for the book club since I've never found one I like here in DC::

And they were just awesome women who happened to read books. Yo.

eta: Speaking of which, Solange, do you have a current email address for our mutual friend D, whose birthday is coming up?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Sparky, are you anywhere near Politics & Prose? They have good book club connections.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Stupid question: why the book thread isn't holding (or maybe it is and I'm way too many posts behind) monthly book club virtual meetings? What am I missing?

(I know, because you only go to the book club to eat good food and meet cute girls/boys).

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

We tried a separate thread for that, and it didn't work. It got closed a while ago.

In thread the thought was it would be potentially too disruptive/disrupted of/by other discussion.

Although looking at it now in the "Closed Threads" area, it was reopened then closed again for discussion of the last Harry Potter book.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I see: I figured there was a good reason for it.

Sparky, I too have no book groups currently, and I can't believe it's been over 4 years now. Going from 3 down to none at all has made me v sad and lonely. But they were a hard act to follow. If your profile addy (ooh, lookit Solange with the lingo!) is good, I'll send D's email to you.

My profile addy is good. Thanks! I'm not sure that what I have for her works these days.

The Polytechnic High School on Frederick Street, across from Kezar Stadium?

Yes, the same one. Home football games were played at Kezar, before the fancy remodel. The girls' gym was the one on the east side, the boys' was on the west. The main body of the school is now condos. The stoners hung out on Carl Street and the thugs on Frederick. The best thing I can say about high school is that at least it wasn't junior high.
