It is with heavy heart and slow steps that come here today to announce that I will not be a cndidate...

Oops, wrong speech. But I do have to say that I cannot come to the party. I am dissappointed but that Saturday is the only November Saturday available for me to open the coffeehouse and I don't dare break the chain.

Coffeehouses depend on regularity. People have to know where they can go each month and I am already risking much by not being consistent with opening on the fourth Saturday every month.

It is possible that Mocha Cafe will still be cancelled at the last minute. If that happens I will be there. I won't know for a while yet.
