Hope you’re back to 100% soon, Adam Smith!

If I’m reading the menu right, it’s “Hill Hour” until 7 PM, with $1.50 Malpeque oysters. Would it be malapropos of me if I showed up slightly before the 7 PM start for oysters?

Not at all! You might have to grab a seat at the bar as our reservation is for 7PM.

For those I haven't met IRL before, you're looking for a bald dude, big beard, plaid shirt.

AFAIK only one American will be present, or are you specifically referring to the bovine

I didn't say "the invasion by Americans".

By my count, half of next week's confirmed attendees are currently based in the United States.

A big thank you to YOWgary and Mrs YOWGary for hosting.

YOWGary is the perfect host! A very knowledgeable FF who kept the conversation from drifting into "difficult" areas.

Looking forward to our next encounter, wherever/whenever that will be!

That's the plan. When are you arriving in town?

Also, a question for everyone: given that I'm sure I'm not the only one going to see older family members nex week, and we're all watching Omicron blow up at ridiculous speed, I'm wondering how anyone (besides those who will have just passed a COVID test to enter Canada) would feel about testing before we meet up on Saturday?
