I'm planning to be there if the weather ain't too horrid. On a work night it could be a stretch for some of us. Perhaps we could have pizza sent in?

I've advised a few correspondants of this, although I'm not sure many can come. Advised that it may not be real appropriate for little kiddoes, although that's our Host's call entirely and no doubt we could keep it reasonably "clean and sober" if that became an issue. We can stow the "salty" stuff for another night.

I may have to start brewing up a keg of 19th Century stout or larger (it's a little different from what's on tap these days) in preparation for a spring haulaway. If in summer, a bit of haying elixer may be needed to ward off solar prostration.

Seasons Blessing t' ye all, Mates!
