Wow Pearl,

Sounds like we got a great bunch going!! I plan on wearing my Red Sox gear.  Going to opening day again this year.  Probably my only game this year but who knows.  Can't wait to see you all again and to meet all the newbies.  Can't believe when we got together last Oct. I was a Newbie!!!!

Jane call me so we can make plans again.....talk soon.

See you soon Pearl and eveyone else.

Is this still open / available?
My husband is running the Boston Marathon the next day. I'd love to come but don't know if I can get childcare...
First let me check with you all to see if there's still room at the luncheon.
Thanks,

Hi folks, time to "bump" this thread for final headcount.

Paul, B&N is fine... 11am?

Keri, would LOVE to have you join us, if you can. Didn't realize Marathon Monday was the next day.  Will you be staying in downtown or suburbia? Please let me know.

Any other takers? Just a couple of weeks away and I need to give our loverly host (Bill) our final headcount... as well as Gil (oh, be still my heart for my Brazilian nut!  :P ) for the Apple Dumplin's.

(Thanks to Keri for letting me know about this!)

I will be heading to Boston from Houston myself that weekend for the marathon!  And have every excuse to carbo load at brunch the day before, guilt free :)  How cool that I will be able to do two very special things the same weekend! I would love to attend if I still can.
I will be one week pre-surgery at that point, too, so it will be EXTRA good to meet you all :)

I suppose if Nancy is coming a mere 11 days post-op, I have no excuses to miss the brunch regardless of when this baby decides to show up (who is now officially late, darnit!).

Guess that means I lost the pool.  I picked 4/3 as the birth date.

Hang in there Katie.  Baby #3 will arrive shortly, I'm sure.  Hope you're not too uncomfortable and are getting some sleep.

Sorry for the hijack, Phyl.  I just HAD to see if Katie had the baby yet  :)

We try, but its no longer our little group that sat on a normal table .... its first come first serve, late comers wont get pick of seats.  we need a bigger place!

I almost was not going to make it! .. I talked to my father-in-law  and fishing is not going to get in the way like last year... I will be there!!
(we are going fishing the next week, I go Salmon fishing in Canada every end of April for the last 15 years, even a AN did not get in the way!)
