Joe, I rarely accept anybody else's reality, so perhaps I HAVE altered the nic poisening rules to suit my own needs... but somehow that seems unlikely.
Since we're having a problem with availability of people in december, Would it be better if we can the Christmas Party because of the problem with a date, and call it a Cabin Fever Party, and hold it the first or second weekend of January?
If Not, The available dates I have in December are the 4th,5th,11th,12th... I would sure like to get a date when we ALL can make it.
