The steering committee met on Thursday, June 28, at El Malecon, a Dominican restaurant in the part of his neighborhood that Martin would rather not think about.

We discussed the behavioral oddities of our various children (numerous [oddities, not children]) and what we are doing about them. 

We discussed the current race for the Mayoralty and our sense that any of the candidates -- Republican or Democrat -- other than Herman Badillo, would be acceptable if less than inspiring. Badillo was deemed too scary. 

We ate a lot of good Dominican food, and then spent a few minutes discussing holding a reunion of as many of the people on our list as we could contact and convince to attend. By this time I was tired, extremely well fed, and somewhat sleepy. I don't recall whether we set a date for the reunion or not, but the 79th St. Boat Basin was proposed as the location, though other possible locations (The Seagram Building, the fountain at Columbus Circle, etc.) were also discussed.
