Bloke noted to me that the Pats are playing at Wembley (for what reason, I have NO clue) but given the opportunity, we'd fly over, stay with the inlaws, rail to Wembley for the game to get a take on how Brits view " 'Merican" football! :)

See ya Sunday!

Just had my yearly MRI today at Mass General the same date as last year, Oct. 20th.

It's been a good year so far. Palace and I hooked-up and took a trip to Europe for a month. What an experience!! A week in Rome, Royal Caribbean cruise around Italy, Portafino, Tuscany, Messina, Sicily, Venice, Croatia, Naples, Zurich, Paris. More at the brunch.....

we've had a casualty!  :o  My crazykat rocker dood (who was going to share about this whirlwind trip he just took!) had something come up (riding to the brunch without him just won't seem right  :-\ )...... so..... I can accommodate one more in my car if someone needs a ride (have 3 already and  can take 1 more).  I'll be coming from Rt 128/I-95 north of town (Woburn cloverleaf area), heading down to Mass Pike (I-90), heading west.

for those that need road directions, please follow the link below for the restaurant (they have a link for the road directions) as well as the Sunday Brunch menu :)

Everyone should meet downstairs in the main lobby area away from the elevators (brunch vets will know where....)

Hi Phyl,

     I had to ask, did you post that last message from another time zone? I had to ask because the message is recorded here as being posted at 11:34 am on the 23rd.

I hadn't sent you the cancellation notice until 12:52 pm in the afternoon the same day. Or is it that the computer clock is off? There has to be a reasonable explanation.

Hi Phyl,

Paul, if you had been 'lurking' at it without being logged on, it will reflect the site server time, which is PST.  If you are logged on, then it does show (as long as you set it on your profile) as EST.  It is showing me that I posted this "Posted on: October 23, 2009, 02:34:09 PMPosted by: ppearl214", which is after I got your email :)  If you lurked it, it would have shown as PST, which would have been the 11:34 (PST) as you note. Make sure your profile is also showing you have it set for your timezone (EST).  When the site was moved to the new host server, it defaults to PST where it is located.

Nope, I didn't jump the gun, m'dear.... I posted after you sent me the email... nothing more. The car ride still won't be the same without you.

Hi all,

Well, finally here! We did have another casualty with Helga and know that she will also be missed today!  :'(


Final headcount, as of now is 31..... all I have to say is wow!  :o  :)

will be leaving in a little bit. I believe many of you have my cellphone number in case anything comes up.  Looking forward to seeing everyone there... don't forget to set DVR's/VCR's for the Pats game from Wembley so you can watch later.  Please remember to wear stretchy-waistband pants or MooMoo's as the food will be abundant! :)

Looking forward to seeing you all there... and for those not physcially with us.... we know you are there in apple-dumplin' spirit! Will post piccies later!

See you all there!

  Jane

PST was noted based on location of site server. Make sure your profile is noting you, m'dear, for EST... and to answer your question.... no. :)

See you in a few!

Logging off 10:00am EST
