[Magdalen] Remember lustmeets?

[Jay Weigel]

Been to several of those, mostly involving food of some kind 😊 Lunches,
dinners, what have you. Some one-on-ones too, like doing RAM clinics, with
Grace, or when Georgia came to visit me in the hospital. Haven't had one
since dinner at Georgia's before Covid, I guess, because I couldn't make
the lunch when Dan came through last summer.
For VA-WV listsibs who know her, I met Cynthia Walter yesterday at the
RHSPCA shelter. Turns out she's a volunteer too, but we normally work on
opposite days so I'd not met her before.
