[POOL] Time for the group dinner?

[Aaron Magill]

I'm game for whatever, and Clara's does sound good ;-)

I'll be travelling between here and Champaign a fair amount over the 
next month, so just let me know with a few days warning so I can make 
sure to attend.  Anyone have a problem with me bringing my daughter along?
