In Houston Dec 20-27 - Anyone want to get together??

[Kaybo]

Hello All~
I will be in Houston and available to get together December 20-27 - I know that this is a VERY busy time of the year, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested...I will be in the Memorial area and can go wherever AS LONG AS I KNOW WELL IN ADVANCE (& it is not too terribly far) as I will not have my own car and there will be 13 people sharing the ones I will have access to!  I will also need to make sure some other family member can watch my girlies!  Let me know if there is any interest!

Well, you know I am interested!  I will have to see if I am am able to be out and about, but surely we can meet for lunch or something?  My sweet daughter is giving up her Christmas vacation to take care of mom, so she will be "driving Miss Priss."

I think it sounds like a much needed break !  I'm in!!  Just let me know when and where!

I'm in too!  It would be great to put names to faces (other than what's been shared here)..  You know me, I'll be in the Cypress area of town, but I work near 290/43rd..  I'm available just about any time!  Let's all do it!

OK ~ let's start putting this together & if someone else can join us great & if not, we will have a grand time with just us!!  I guess in my mind, I was thinking the early part of the week BEFORE Christmas but I want to be considerate of night driving & work schedules...Brian, input, please-what is your work schedule?  Also, we could probably go for the Saturday AFTER Christmas if y'all are going to be around then...We have plenty of time so let's brainstorm to get this right for everybody!!  The longer we wait too, the longer Ms. Maggie will have post-op...just a consideration too...

I generally work 9am - 6pm.  If we go around here around lunch time, then I can just use some lunchtime to meet up.  The weekend after Christmas, I will likely be out of town (visiting family in Austin) but nothing is set in stone yet.  I do think we should consider MsMaggie's post-op length of time.  I don't know about the rest of you, but it was several weeks before I felt lilke doing anything (MsMaggie could be way different than that).

How long will you be in town?  What timeline are we looking at?  Is it Dec 20-27?  If so, I might be off the Friday (day after Christmas) and could possibly meet for lunch on that day before leaving town.  Just a thought..

Regards,
Brian

I'm pretty open to days and times, except I don't have a night driving license.( my license is restricted! I feel like a teen again)  I know how to navigate in the Memorial area (lived there for several years) and I also can get around pretty well in the Cypress area, since Msmaggie and I live fairly close and in the Southern end I would be more than happy to give her a ride.  I'm not a bad driver in the daylight hours and I'm getting really good on the freeways again.

OK - we need to really start putting this together - Brain, what does the day after Christmas look like for you & Jenni these days!! Brenda?   I think that is looking pretty good - I think the only thing we have between Christmas & when we fly back is the Rockets game the night of the 27th.  What about eveyone else?  I think Waypoint (? - Softball boy) might try to join us too.

The 26th sounds good to me.  I haven't heard of any plans that would interfere.

Have a great time!

I'll be leaving town later that afternoon/evening, but lunch time on the 26th sounds good!  I prefer something closer to where I work if we're doing lunch that day (I work at 290/43rd).  Other than that, I'm not picky (except we don't do the 'eses.. japanese, chinese, etc.. you get the drift).  I'm really not that difficult.  Really.  (Shhh!  Don't say a word, Jan!).

Brian

[msmaggie]

I am definitely in, esp. w/Brendalu's offer to drive!  I'm probably just up the freeway from her.  Can't wait to meet the rest of the bunch!

Priscilla~
That is GREAT!!!!  I have PMed for some suggestions close to work for him as Dave & I don't know that area.  I can't wait to meet you guys!! 

K

[Pooter]

I have replied with 4 suggestions.  I can't wait to meet (or see again) you all too!  Who all is going to go?  So far, we have Kaybo (and Dave), Priscilla, Brenda, and me (and Jenni).  Anyone else joining in the festivities?  Surely there are more than 3 of us in the Houston area...(Waypoint comes to mind.) 

Maybe we can get Phyl to fly around in the ANA Leer and pick people up and bring them? 

Regards,

Brian

I'm in the Houston area too and would love to meet you guys, but we're going to be in Oklahoma with family for Christmas and won't be back until the following week. I'll catch y'all next time.

Priscilla, it's great to read about your successful outcome and recovery sounds like it's going well. Take it easy.

Merry Christmas and happy new year to all you guys.
