About 75% of the people there were retirees, and about 75% were guys. I'm talking about the monthly meeting of the bike club, which we attended tonight. It was our first, and perhaps our last.

The club newsletter and email announcement suggested meeting for dinner beforehand at a nearby restaurant, but when we arrived we were the only ones there (although one person joined us a bit later). The food was whelming. Not overwhelming or underwhelming, just whelming.

The regular meeting occurred down the road a bit at a local community center where two guys gave slide shows of their vacations in Italy. Of them, the one who had actually done a bike trip showed slides that weren't so interesting. The guy who had nice pictures hadn't ridden a bike on his trip.

Of the 35 or so people there, I recognized only one. We helped fold newsletters anyway. We had some cookies. Then we went home and watched Lost.

Our rainstorm finally ended. I hope we get a lot more this winter.
