I went ahead and fixed that in the meantime... honestly, I don't have my calendar right in front of me... so I'm just typing this from memory {sometimes I move a little too fast for my own good}
So, mark your calendars! April 25th, a Saturday, is our next chance to get together. We’ll probably aim for an afternoon meetup, maybe around 4:00 or 4:30 PM? We'll nail down the exact spot in the next few days.
So, I’ve been diving deep into all this talk about karma lately, and honestly? It just started creating more confusion than anything else.
Genes? Well, if you ask me, they don't carry nearly as much weight as scientists like to claim, though there’s probably some level of influence there. But how much? That’s the thing. It really depends on the person, and let's face it, people always feel this innate urge to push their own opinions on everyone else.
I’d say genetics play a role when it comes to how we look physically, but when it comes to our actual behavior patterns? The impact seems way smaller.
For all the newcomers joining us, if you’re getting hung up on that monument over by the Main office and can't quite figure out which crew is the right one to work with... just go for it and ask! If you find yourself running more than ten minutes behind, shoot me a DM so we can hash out the details privately.
We usually hang out right in the heart of Chicago. Honestly, the years don't really matter, but most of us are somewhere between our 20s and late 30s.
We typically gather in groups of four to six. Our little tradition is to meet up at least once every three weeks. We'll touch base a few days beforehand to set a time, and I always try to make sure at least three people are definitely in for that slot.
It’s mostly weekend afternoons, though sometimes we’ll grab a spot on a weekday afternoon too. When the weather gets chilly, we end up sitting over coffee for three or four hours straight. Once the warmer weather hits, we start thinking about combining a walk with our coffee—maybe even some sports if we're feeling adventurous—just to soak up the sun.
So, anyway, welcome! It would actually be great to get something on the calendar for a new meetup very soon.

But honestly? Sometimes even giving in isn't that simple. It usually stems from these deep-seated habits we've picked up over the years. You see it in how people react to you, too. Plus, there's that whole cycle of just guessing what's going to happen or putting things off until later. Doesn't it always feel like that?
Ghost isn't going to make it today after all. Since the others haven't weighed in yet, we’re pushing things back.
Man, I really hope we get some folks interested in one of the upcoming weekends soon. Honestly, a weekend just seems like a much better call, don't you think?
