At three o'clock, myself, [livejournal.com profile] schizmatic, and James B. met for a meeting of the Counterfactual Threats Analysis Grioup at the Yonge-Wellesley Starbucks. By unanimous consent, we moved the meeting up the street to Volo. There, the relative specializations of contemporary Roman and Han law codes (private and public affairs, respectively), the unusual naming practices relating to certain new American military vehicles (google "stryker"), the personalities of soc.history.what-if and its related newsgroups, discussion on the upcoming American elections, the influence of post-structuralism on Anglo-American academe, and amusingly ahistorical Franco-American rivalries.

Incidentally, James B. will be heading to work overseas, now Aerodrome. Godspeed to him!

A quarter past five, I bid my leave to head for dinner, with various people in attendance including [livejournal.com profile] bitterlawngnome, [livejournal.com profile] danthered, [livejournal.com profile] djjo, [livejournal.com profile] schillerium and [livejournal.com profile] vaneramos. The food, as on my last visit, was excellent, as was the company. The Revolution was great, although I remain curious about the persimmon diet skit that got fast-forwarded past.
