Is there a word in The Meaning of Liff for the particular feeling of disappointment you get when you buy a small bag of a poncey treat, like, say, organic/made with real juice jellybeans, and they turn out to be appreciably less tasty than the regular sort?

Anyway, Radical Handmaids tomorrow.

I haven't heard any other suggestions, so:

Meet at Bridgehead at Metcalfe and Sparks, 11:30 or thereabouts. 11, if possible.

Cat and I will bring Sharpies, Sheets, Scissors.

Head up to the Hill at 12.

It's going to be chilly, windy, and very possibly rainy or snowy; lots of layers. I plan to bring the Thermoses and get tea and hot cocoa to go.

After: 1:30 or so, I expect.

Lunch somewhere?

I haz a working tomorrow, so while I plan on going over to the hill at noon, I'll be heading back to the cubicle farm by about 1.

My lunch plan involves eating a very hearty breakfast and/or getting something to eat at my desk later in the afternoon.

You should bring chalk, too. I mean, that worked really well last time.

Noted.

Sheets?

Lunch somewhere afterwords sounds good. :-)

There should be a word for it, yes there should.

But you didn't ask to hear why I associate many things hippie/crunchy/organic with WOE... :)

On the upside I've found that most gluten-free treats taste BETTER. But I'm more likely to eat plywood than anything labelled "low fat".
