11:00-12:00 Revising Work: Taking the suggestions from our latest critique meeting, we wi (ooh, there's fudge)
12:00-1:00 An hour of
1:00-2:00 Tug of War with Tammy's Butt--Linda, Beth, Lynn and I will take turns trying to get an inspired essay (for ourselves) out of Tammy's skillful sphincter.
2:00-3:00 Discussion of the minutes from past critique meetings. Issues that will be brought to the table include:

* The new French beau one of our members has lured into her web
* The irony that--in our experience--first husbands are bums/jerks/dolts/
certifiably crazy.
* The unending quest to find something that is not made better with the
addition of bacon/mayonnaise/cream cheese/chocolate
