The undisclosed location turned out to be our house.
unkbar, Jim Kobrenitz, Jerry, Sam, and Bonnie, joined
daisy_knotwise and I for dinner. We fired up the grill (after a couple of false starts), threw a bunch of steaks on the fire, and ate ourselves into oblivion.
The conversation was good too.
For the record, all of the steaks were finished except for Bonnie's which she wrapped to take home and left on our dining room table. But she can pick it up tomorrow when they rescue Steve from the airport. (He went to England for a con. His car stayed with us.
We're going to be at the baseball game tomorrow.)
