I&#8217;ll do my best to make my minutes as different from those notes as possible, because, as we all know, she&#8217;s in on an inside plot to slowly destroy the Outing Club and all we stand for. Or maybe that&#8217;s me. Or Spencer. Who knows? Well this is an unusually long heading. Anyways, here goes:<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">What we been up to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NICK WENT FISHING MEMORIES WHERE HAD (PS it was also his first meeting!!)<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eric went for a run in 70 degree weather (in the crabby state of Maryland)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jake went to the Hume center!

So just know you missed out on a great joke in this spot.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There was also a night time fire on Runnals (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">twas a log cabin\/lean-to style hybrid). Jake and Eli are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fire physicists<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d.
