Well, actually it was beer and an appetizer. I must report that Dale is not the right-winger some board members might believe him to be. He's pro-choice, anti-gun, pro-drug decriminalization (with government regulation), and anti-death penalty. There is a long tradition of Maine producing such Republicans. I suspect down south he'd be viewed as a bleeding heart liberal. He probably is a candidate for the Libertarian Party.

We also discovered that apart from Baerwald, we have virtually no other common musical tastes but we both dig Monty Python and the National Lampoon so that's something. Sadly, Reg couldn't make it. I had envisioned my playing referee when these two heavyweights got together. Another day, another issue, another round of beers.
