Hello Ottawa Mustachians,
I've recently returned to the forums after years away, after noticing I was FI when musing about my next career move in case my current job ends suddenly, which it could. I counted my pennies and realized my next career move could be to not have one any more, so I have come back to the forums and blogs to gather info and reassure myself that financially I am ready, whether it comes to that or not.
I'd love to meet some local frugal folks. I am a long-term Ottawa resident, but in recent years have been away a lot, working up in the arctic (where my "Bingeworker" moniker comes from) and spending time in the USA where my American husband was getting his PhD. We're full-time locals here now though, for the past year.
Glancing back at recent ideas, I'd like to propose a totally casual disorganized potluck in Andrew Haydon Park, which is on the bike path and not too far from transit (Bayshore station) if anyone is busing. I'm guessing weekends are the best for most of you? How would Saturday July 7 or Sunday July 8 work for people? Friday July 6 would also be fine. I work, but part-time (I semi-retired back in 1992 so I have been at this my whole adult life).
If anyone is interested, which day would be better for you, and is lunch or suppertime better?
