I equate this more to my Maltese yapping like crazy at my Bernese Mountain dog every time he comes within 10 feet of their food. 

I will be delighted if you include me in your group. 

Here in DC area its killing landlords as well as the small retail as the office buildings are all first floor retail/food service and the govt is not back to office or they are 2-3 days per week which for these businesses is a 406-%+ drop as typically fridays would be the day you go out for lunch etc. and now most people work from home on fridays.

I'd be delighted to talk about planning with you!   

Just food for thought. 

We typically do a happy hour at a local brewery or rent a suite with catered food/drink at a local baseball game. 

I was skeptical at first but it was a delight.

You make sure your family has food and a roof overhead. 

I still love it- great music and food, good biking and climbing and world class kayaking. 

Maybe food for thought on the next time.
