Basically, we have been meeting for over ten years, it started with two meeting for lunch and immediately ballooned to five of us, and we only very recently added a sixth. We meet for lunch once a week, and true to form, although we originally called ourselves the Monday Lunch club, we usually meet on Tuesday. Date is subject to change, if necessary when one of us has a conflict. We are trying to keep to this number of members because we have-all been friends and members of the Croton Reform Temple for many years, and we live fairly closely in an area bounded by Croton on Hudson, Briarcliff manor, Millwood and Mohegan Lake. Besides , If we have too many of us we could never solve all the world's problems., most of which we can accomplish in one lunch. Only two of us checks his appointments on a Palm Pilot, and they are the only ones who get lost , go on the wrong day or in the rare instance when we change the restaurant (by agreement,) they go to the wrong place. This can happen even though I send a group email as a reminder a few days in advance of each lunch. I usually include with this my weekly Kvetch about something going on in the world that drives me nuts, items of which there is never a shortage. I am the eldest in the group at ninety-one, and the rests of the guys are spread out in age from seventy to either side of eighty.

 Now for a little rundown: Dick is a retired professor of economics. Alan is retired from the Educational arena with a doctorate in education who has now returned to his love of woodworking and is making fine furniture as well as arks etc. for Synagogues . Dave 11 is an "almost" retired very prestigious attorney. Milt is an engineer and a computer genius (that is not hyperbole) who ran the engineering department for one of the industrial giants in this country. David 11.1 ran an insurance business and also served as an impresario who brought live Top Grade Chamber Music to our environs. I am a retired engineer and part time writer still working at it on a part time basis. These are to me the brightest and nicest guys in the world. We are all curious about the whys and wherefores of the websites you talk about and would appreciate your feedback.

While we are not necessarily litigious as individuals, we have one member who is a prominent Attorney, so who can predict? At its inception about ten years ago, our Romeos were supposed to be Retired Old Men Eating out as well. However, I always maintain that it should be "Rotten old men eating out."
