Ya know Mary.... I'd reeeeeeeeeeeeealy think about extending that vaca and fly back Sunday night! ;)  Will have an eggs benedict or Bloody Mary for you.... there are so many here from the "bad" coast, I'm sure you all can figure out the same.  Have a terrific vacation and hoping you aren't near Queens/NYC.. they were still without power at last check.

*MAJOR bump*

4 days to go folks! YAY! :)  I need to reconfirm headcount so I can reconfirm with restaurant. All still coming? Any additional?  (Jane? Colorlady?)  Anyone can't make it?

Please advise so I can call them to firm all arrangements.
Thanks!

Hello all-
Sorry to let everyone know that I WILL NOT be able to attend Sunday's brunch.  My driver(spouse) is
a real estate broker and has to do an open house.  In the mean time, I will continue to monitor the forum.

Hey Phyll - thanks for the post in the other category regarding the brunch.  Found time to pull this one up and read about it.  As mentioned, got to go to Plymouth that day to check out John Alden and Pocahontas (not sure if I have my historic characters correct) - only kidding!! Got a cousin's reunion that had been planned for months.  Hope everyone has a great time - would love to meet y'all - maybe I'll get something going in Florida when we return for the winter - oh the life of the rich and famous - ya right!!

Katie and All,
I'm just not there yet for all that driving, alas; I was hoping, and the time will come....  You all sound so effortlessly energetic, it amazes me.  Yesterday I did have a day with NO head pain, and that was very special, not even that low grade pain I manage to just ignore.  I'm hoping for more such days to come.  In the meantime, please let me know any advice/thoughts for that (very special) head pain post sub occipital.  I do acupuncture and craniosacral therapy, would like to know what has helped in other cases.

So, tomorrow have a fine brunch, I'll be thinking of you...
