I've never seen this movie, so I'm not recommending it. Just pointing out that it exists so you don't get confused with the one from 2015.

We had 17 people at this mtg. That included 4 new people with 1 of them on the phone. I'm not sure that there was anyone in the room who hadn't at least attempted to read the book.

We brought snacks - Christine brought mini-candy bars that could have been fuel for climbing the mountain and a sports drink (glacier ice flavor). I brought popcorn, rice cakes, potato chips and pretzels that were all flavored with Himalayan pink salt.

We were considering making sno cones but it was just too cold out for that.
