You can always bring the extras along when we have our Brazilian Beef GLLUG 
cookout.  A time for which we should set soon.  Susan and I thought we 
would offer to host the event, though some of you will have to bring 
charcoal grills since all we have is a gas one that doesn't respond very 
well to rock salt.  As an initial proposal, how does Friday, May 9th sound 
to everyone?  I know it's not the traditional Thursday meeting night, but 
it would make hosting easier.  (Thursday the 8th would probably be OK.)
