We’re celebrating our 100th meeting! No official topic this time—just a chance to reflect on where we’ve been over the past 100 gatherings and where you’d like to see this group go next.

After dinner — Michael will return to his house; riders welcome on the return trip.
Prefer to meet us there? Great—plan for 5:00 p.m. at Santa Buffet (address above).
Discussion (Lightweight)
Milestones and favorite moments from the first 100 meetings.
What to keep, what to change, and experiments to try in the next 10 meetings.
Topic ideas, formats (debates, paper-clubs, salons), and guest suggestions.
Questions for the Group
What worked best in our first 100—format, cadence, tone?
What topics or series should we prioritize next quarter?
Any adjustments to time, length, or venue that would improve attendance and depth?
Conclusion
Join at 2:00 p.m. at Michael’s house (primary start) or meet us at Santa Buffet at ~5:00 p.m. If you’d like a seat in the carpool (max 3), reply to claim your spot.
