Shady

I had huge plans for being productive today, but that got shot all to hell when I checked my email. In addition to an instant messenger style conversation with Dorian, it was full, full, FULL of mass emails from students trying to make all kinds of plans.

Jeremy wants to play basketball at lunch time. Dave #1 is in. Mike is out. Both Matts are in. Shih-nan is missing in action. Greg might be shamed into it...after emails from several others, Greg's in.

Angie wants to plan a trip to an amusement park and wants some feedback. She's conserned about weekend crowds and the fact that 6 Flags Baltimore is shady. Dave #2 is in. Caroline, Anne, both Matts, and Dave #1 will have to check their schedules. Takiesa wants to know what Angie means by shady. Dave #1 and Jeremy were kind enough to provide the following definitions...

Dave said:
