Points to Ponder:
There is a fine line between a numerator and a denominator.
(only a fraction of people will find this funny).
Program:
The program tonight was given by our own Rob Waine. He and Barbara had the good fortune to visit friends in Korea which enabled them to see sights from a more local perspective. There were many (!) interesting stories and pictures. A number of them featured food which left us all hungry. I think there were several members that made an addition to their bucket list as well.
Thanks Rob, a great topic and very well done. Thanks!
