Information Key (for general knowledge, for common consideration and interpritatin’):
For the sake of this schedule, meals are referred to as “breakfast, lunch and supper”.
If I were writing this for my southern friends alone, it would read “breakfast, dinner and supper”. However, as odd as it may seem to some of us that people eat “dinner” after the work day, I know that some of ya’ll might use the term “breakfast, lunch and dinner”.
One good thing for sure is that we all agree that “breakfast” is in the morning when the coffee is hot. As for the rest, it really makes little difference since it is Argos. And everyone always eats too much at Argos anyway, no matter what they call it.
Just remember, whether it’s “Lunch, or Dinner, or Supper”, the important part is that the fried chicken is in the evening meal.
Note:
Breakfast: We plan to have food available. Usually the official plan is to cook-your-own for breakfast, but someone usually ends up with a spatula in their hand cooking for everyone
Presentations: we plan to have a projector (usb) and screen, mic and speaker, computer.
Agenda: This agenda is not meant to be overly restrictive. I tried to find a balance of structure and meaningful order and the normal laid back fun weekend we’re all used to experiencing at Argos…… And to leave plenty of unscheduled time for “milling around”, “schmoozing”, “maundering”, “meandering”, “gallivanting”, “dawdling”, “wandering”, “knocking about”, “lollygagging” and getting a woodgas ride.
Let me know if something needs adjusted. See you in a few days. Billy
