Gloria: thanks for this. We’re putting it on our Calendar now.
By the way, we notice you’re being true to your gender — you ended using an exclamation point, a puncuation marks that’s far too exciting for us dull men.
Area Codes is a great topic for Dull Men’s Club meetings and for Dull Men to discuss on line.
Have a contest to see who know know the most area codes.

It’s interesting to see how simple — how few — area codes there were back in 1947 when they started.
