LOL - Wendy ... regular may just end up being an annual event! with some of us driving 2.5 hrs each way, and the $$$ for a tank of gas. But I'm sorry you can't make it this time .. ... (I was wondering if maybe you hadn't seen us down here)

Joe, I'm sure most restaurants who pride themselves in excellent service will not mind at all if we request substitutes and no bread. Many restaurants have their menus posted online, so once we firm up a locale, such as Markham/Scarborough areas which have been suggested ... then we can narrow down the search to type of food.

Meeting for coffee would be wonderful, and if I lived closer I'd say let's meet tomorrow!! But, as it is, I'm driving from Kingston ... and I know Sharon is coming down from Owen Sound, so a meal setting --- preferably in a sealed off room where we won't disturb other patrons, not that I'm planning on being rowdy or anything .. ... Ooops, is anybody expecting me to behave???

As for date, the sooner the better, before the end of July ... as in the next 2 or 3 weeks. SO FOLKS ... do we want a weekday or weekend?? Lunch/afternoon, or Dinner/evening??

Afternoon would be good for me, since it wouldn't be late at night driving home afterward. An evening dinner, I might contemplate staying overnight in Scarborough ... but don't want to leave my kitties too long!!

Let us know. I'll try to find a map that I can post here as well.
