I am VERY hopeful, but I am still not sure. I had so much fun last time, though, that I can't wait!

Uh oh, I think I posted to quickly.  While my kids usually have something going on, one or the other, this time they both have something on May 16. In this case my wife covers one and I will have to cover the other.  Unless I can make some other arrangement I do not think I can make this date. May 2 was better for me.

Sorry,

Hi Debbie and Wendy,
It was good to see you both recently at our Sunday ANA/NJ meeting.  Wow, that was amazing!  I think I successfully changed my username from JeffB to jerseyboy.  I'll see you both May 16 after my Thailand trip.  Cheers.

Debbi,

I definitely want to attend and can make it just about any Sunday.  So keep me in the loop if there are any more date changes.   I just stopped in today to make sure everything was still a "go".  I'll be in contact here before the 16th!  Can't wait to meet everyone.  Oh yea, I'm going to bring a guest.  ;)

We are headed for a great crowd!  Please just check to make sure I've got you on the list (up a couple of posts) as I will be confirming the reservation this week.  Of course, they are usually very accommodating about adding more tables if we need it, but it helps to have a head count.

Can't wait to see everyone!

Debbie,
I'm leaving for Bangkok in 30 minutes, and if I don't get shot in a civil war, will be at the ANA/NJ brunch, notwithstandinfg my return only a few hours earlier.
I changed my name from JeffB to jerseyboy to keep jerseygirl and jerseygirl2 company!  Who will become jerseyboy2?

Debbi and Wendy,

Am sorry to have to cancel on the May 16 date, but am having to return to my mother's in Nashville sooner than I had anticipated so won't be able to attend. Hope that everyone has a great time and I'll look forward to the next get-together!
