Lunch?

[algeh]

I am in Portland now, and will be tomorrow as well, as I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. I am on the no soy, no eggs, no peppers, and no fun diet, but have this wacky idea that it would be fun to meet for lunch anyway. Anyone interested? I have no idea what kind of schedules people tend to be on on Tuesdays. Feel free to call me on my cell.

what time in the afternoon is your appt?

[algeh]

3:15 in Lake Grove (near Lake Oswego, right off of I-5). I want to allow a little extra time to get there since I haven't been to the doctor since 2002 and thus there may be some paperwork to fill out, but I can be pretty flexible on lunch times anyway.

the kids both have a doc's appt. at 9:45 (together)
and after that....no plans. Except I have no idea how long it will take... too little time?

Well, we can play it by ear...you could call me after you're done at the doctor's and see how your day is going to go. (I haven't the foggiest idea how long it takes two kids to go to the doctor, I'm kind of guessing an hour or two, which wouldn't put it too late for a lunch of some kind.)

Where about is their doctor? Maybe we could meet at a location somewhere between their doctor and mine. There are a lot of restaurants in the general part of town that mine's in...I remember Fuddruckers (a burger place where you get to add your own toppings) being a big hit with me as a kid, although I completely forget at what age. I'm pretty willing to go somewhat off of my diet (except for the bell pepper part) since if I feel like crap at the doctor's it will just make it easier to describe my symptoms anyway, so there's probably some sort of restaurant that would work. You have a far better idea what kind of restaurant or such thing might be good than I do, probably.

I'll call you

i have break from about noon until two, and i may or may not have time to eat lunch, as i am swamped with reading tonight and still have japanese homework, but i'll give you a call.

Sounds reasonable. I'm going to try to meet up with dstroy, but nothing concrete has emerged and I see no reason why you couldn't spontaneously include yourself if your schedule allows. It seems we're going to play the "everyone call me at the last minute and a plan will spring into being" game, which usually works out well.

the closer to downtown your plans are, the easier it would be for me to jump on board

I'm free tomorrow during the day, so I could meet you for lunch.

[algeh]

Cool. Assuming your phone number hasn't changed, I'll call you tomorrow once I know what the plan is. I kind of want to make meeting up with dstroy the priority, since our schedules haven't aligned in around a year and she commented back first, but after a plan emerges I'll keep you posted on the particulars.

Sounds good. My number hasn't changed. Lake Grove is a quick drive for me, but so is basically anything reasonable on the west side. Downtown isn't fun to drive and park in, so sufficient lead time to get there on tri-met would be nice if you go that way.

We will await delivery of the plans. Do not fail us.
