Minutes of the First Official Meeting

[Walt Joyce]

Jack -

Forgive yourself.  Then again, next time, bring a Perl friend.  That's the
best way to make it up to us.

- Walt

Well, I am mystified. But then, what else is new?

Anyway, I am willing to try and make a fool of myself once again on the
28th. I promise, I will not let my IS department get their hands on anything
I use or need to leave with the entire day.

I must admit, my eyes were a little too tired to recognise a Perl book - and
I had forgotten what the "flag" was going to be by then anyway. Nor did I
have time to stop at home (as I had planned) to get my Perl hat. Looser all
the way around.
