January Selection: The Cat's Table by Michael Ondaatje

[Rick]

Had another very pleasant conversation this evening at Trends. It was thumbs up all around for The Marriage Plot. We agreed that our selections are getting better each time.

Hope you'll join us in reading The Cat's Table for January. We've reserved Wed, Jan. 25th at 7:15 for our next get-together.

Hi Everyone,

Can we meet Thursday instead of tomorrow? I'm stuck 1 extra day on my trip :(

Anuj

[Jennifer]

Any chance we can move this to Feb 8th?

[Anuj]

Feb 8th is fine for me

[Rick]

Sure, I can do Feb 8. Hope Grace checks in before going tonite.

[Grace]

GladI checked in. Feb. 8 is fine with me.

[Jennifer]

Oh good! Perhaps we exchange phone numbers next time, just in case?

[Grace]

Yes Jennifer, I almost did not get the message tonight.
my number 973-731-4222

[Anuj]

My mobile is 908 397 0471

[Rick]

My cell is 973-941-5467

[Jennifer]

My cell is 551-404-7256

[Jennifer]

My apologies everyone, I have to work late tonight and won't be able to make it. I'll check back for the next selection. Have a good night.

[Rick]

Sorry. Looks like luck's not with us tonite. I can't make it either :(

[Grace]

I was there, your notice was too late. I thought thats why we exchanged numbers.

Grace

[Rick]

I apologize, Grace. I was caught up with work. I assumed the others would make the decision whether to cancel or not. I guess maybe they forgot about tonight..?

[Jennifer]

I'm sorry too, Grace. I had the same problem as Rick with work. I also didn't realize no one else would be there. We should figure out a way to confirm the day before or something - either here or through email. The phone numbers were to be used in cases where everyone checked in here except for one person - then that person could be called.
