I'm sure you've probably been here, but I just saw an article in our little newspaper about the proposed roundhouse they're building here

and I thought of you. hope you're doing well, and the fam.

Hey Steamfan - I see my dear friend Marie already beat me to it, but it's meetup time! Saturday, April 6th, Panera Bread, Miracle Mile Shopping Center, St Louis Park. We'd LOVE to have you come and join us at about 10 or anytime thereafter. Once a meetup lasted 4 hours and we all had to have lunch in addition to breakfast! (or just coffee or whatever suits your fancy).
I plan on being there. If you think you can come, send me a personal message and I'll give you my cell number to have in case you get lost or can't find us (little chance of that - we can sometimes be a boisterous group). Usually about 4-6 core people are in attendance, but we've had as many as 15 since I started going.

here's the info on the Twin Cities meetup

It's put together by a group called "childrenwithdiabetes" but it's for all
