[POOL] Time for the group dinner?

[Strons, Philip S.]

I'm not going to be picky on location.  I'll just go with the flow on
that.

As far as scheduling goes, Saturdays are out for me.  Also, I prefer not
to go on a Friday, but that is more of a preference than a requirement.

Clara's looks good.

This coming Wednesday, I may be busy.  But, I'd rather do this on a
Saturday-Sunday late afternoon/early evening.
