Happiness hour?

An old and happy tradition in this course is to meet (voluntarily, of course) on Thursdays after class at the Boulevard. COVID disrupted that. Perhaps we'd like to revive it. But, too soon?

If anyone's up for it today, let's see if we can snag a table outdoors on the patio.

  3. We had a nice inaugural Happiness Hour, we three, out on the patio. There was room at our table for lots more. Let's do it again.

  4. I want to go!! On Thursday I walked with two interlocutors but we got too busy interlocuting to notice which direction was the right one. Eventually we had used up so much time walking around aimlessly that we had to pull out googlemaps. But then it wouldn't update the little arrow! tldr: we wandered around aimlessly, still had a blast, but would love to actually come sometime
