The Guardian for this meeting was Adams Rubble. The comments are by Adams Rubble.

This log probably should have been named "Being or Not Being". Riddle and I met at the pavilion and discussed a few things. Riddle's comments about driving over the Tappan Zee Bridge are the high point.

Adams Rubble: Hello Riddle :)
Adams Rubble: So close now in SL and so far away in RL now
Riddle Sideways: lol, yes!
Adams Rubble: Eden is not here yet; I'll claim it if she does not come
Riddle Sideways: a cube says, "No Eden this morning"
Riddle Sideways: "sorry"
Adams Rubble: Oh, so it says

Eden and Wol were represented at the session with boxes announcing their absence. Hmmm, Being or Not Being. I claimed the log.
