   This list has needed a "straight man" for some time.  I will try to 
fill the role from time-to-time.

   Of course your wife is welcome to join us, but then who would stay 
with the exploding kids?

   Do any women ever participate in LUG lists?  They certainly are 
under-represented.  Maybe we should ask Harvard to study the issue.

   If food (and its ever increasing expense) could be sacrificed, 
Borders Books might have Wednesday night open.  They have a stage area 
that performers and lecturers regularly use.  It is quiet and free (as 
in beer).  They have coffee and snacks.  Some of the computer 
aficionados wandering around the store might peek in at Linux.

  The upstairs room at Martha's gives more privacy and flexibility for 
presentation, of course.  The relative suitability depends on the size 
of the meeting.
