Hi Phil,  Thanks for arranging the brunch!  You are the official "Brunch Master" and Maxwells' has the best brunch that we have been too .  Nov 9th would work better for us.  Both Bob and I will be there....Kathy

Add me to the calorie free virtual group...Hey that is not too far fetched with web cams these days:-)

Not to hijack the thread...but brunch makes me think of fruit salad.  I have this kicking fruit salad recipe from Cooking Light that is sweet with a kick at the end.  It seemed like an unusual combination of ingredients (cayenne pepper, lemon, honey, mint in the syrup) but it works.

Hi, Phyl:

I'm trying to absent myself from the forums so I can write my chapter for Scott's AN book but I had to respond to this thread.

Right now, either November 2nd or 9th is O.K. but that could change in two months.  In any case, unless something drastically urgent arises to stop me, I'm planning to go - so put me (and Tina) on the attendee list.  I enjoyed the last brunch and so did Tina.  I hope to have the opportunity to meet even more AN forum folks this time so we'll be there if it's humanly possible.  See you in November!  :)

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Nov 9 work? Say Aye or Nay! I need to call our host with the most to secure the table and give Gil the date and approx headcount!  I'm sure the restaurant will take cover once they find out we're coming back (ok, I'll speak for myself on that one!)

Sorry Phyl. I didn't know you had picked a day. But Nov. 9 is good for me so count me in. Please forward any details to my regular e mail address because I admit I don't watch the board too much.

Hi Phyl,

That sounds like such a great time - wish I could be there!

Can you borrow the private jet and make it a "Maxwell's Brunch U.S. Tour?"  Looks like you'd have people lining up in Illinois, Ohio, Nashville, Houston, and LA to name a few!

Just a thought!
