GREAT CONVERSATIONS
Our reading group, Great Conversations, met today at O’Connor’s restaurant in the farming community of Dairy today.
We met there to celebrate upcoming St. Patrick’s Day. Everyone had Corned Beef and Cabbage except me; I had a Corned Beef Sandwich. O’Connor’s, as the name implies, serves up an Irish menu 365 days per year.
An interesting sidelight to today’s meeting/excursion, for some, was a side trip out to the seven mile marker on Swan Lake Road to view the Sand Hill Cranes feeding in the fields there.
Aside from the social aspect of today’s meeting we did agree on our next reading series from Great Books: The Civically Engaged Reader. This series offers over forty different selections from preeminent Philosophers, Classical Novelists, Economists, Political Scientists, Poets, and Sociologists.
We are all looking forward to the new series; and maybe another meeting/excursion.

The Sand Hill Cranes have shown up at Miller's Island too. Nancy and I saw them, for the first time this year, today. There were two families: one of three birds the other of two.
Let's go again soon!!
