Lunch, Books & Discussions

For Men Only (Women Avert Your Eyes)!
The ROMEOs who meet on the first Thursday of each month are currently debating a problem . . . ROMEOs is the acronym for Retired Old Men Eating Out. However the group is open to all men, some of whom are not retired, thus the R would have to be dropped from ROMEOs and it would become known as the OMEOs.

It was then pointed out that some of the men are not (or object to being called) Old. Further, someone said that we should also indicate that we lunch Without Women. Thus the sobriquet would become the MEOWWs. A few were bold enough (or gender insensitive enough) to say that MEOWWs was somehow effeminate and would discourage the macho UU men from attending. Please join the group for the continuing debate at the Buffalo Brew Pub – corner of Main and Transit at 12:00 pm on the first Thursday of each month. (Next: September 2). No reservation necessary, separate checks, cute waitresses (we told you women to avert your eyes). – Submitted Anonymously!

We have an interesting collection of fiction and non-fiction books. Newcomers might want to learn some UU history by reading OUT OF THE FLAMES by Lawrence & Nancy Goldstone, or explore different religious traditions with RESTLESS SOULS: The Making of American Spirituality from Emerson to Oprah, by Leigh Eric Schmidt.
