Dan (Dacort) has reminded me that it has been a year since we got together for a party. :( Time not only flies, it takes a seat on the Concorde. It really was great to meet everybody face to face and talk about all sorts of things... cats, chocolate, families, origami, role-playing... (it was a sunny day, so nobody mentioned the weather). There were a few folks who couldn't make it and others who said "let's do it again", but fall passed into winter and melted into spring. So, what is the feeling? Would people here like to gather again over munchies and conversation? The next couple of weekends are booked and October 18th is my birthday (I usually spend it camping in Yosemite), but that leaves 4 possible weekends where we should have nice weather and maybe even flowers in the garden. Saturday or Sunday afternoon? Carolly
