Typo, I would follow up with a telephone call tomorrow morning to choice #1 to try and ask her the question or let her know that because of the timeframe, you're going to put more feelers out in the afternoon.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If your 1st and 2nd choice say "yes", since it is a panel, can you incorporate both?
That would be my suggestion as well.

We are short on time. Incorporating both would mean two on the same subtopic and giving them about ten minutes each. And unfortunately I can't find a phone for my first choice. All I have for her is an email. I'm now wishing I'd made my 2nd choice my first. He is not quite as knowledgeable as my first but I have a phone number for him and not for her. I could have gotten a yes or no quickly from him.

Thanks. That is a good suggestion. If I put in a deadline, then I can contact my 2nd choice when it is past. And if work on phrasing it tactfully the deadline won't make her more likely to say "no".

One person on my panel canceled because she is in the hospital. After I replaced her, a second person on the panel canceled because his father has been diagnosed with cancer, and he has to go in and translate between his father (who speaks no English) and the doctor (who speaks no Arabic). I'm starting to wonder if being on my panel is bad luck. At any rate I hope both the first person, and the 2nd person's father end up being OK

My recycling is out at the curb. Three cans, one bottle.
Also, I just found some mouse droppings inside my silverware drawer. I have no idea how they got there, since I haven't seen any anywhere else around there, but now I'm all "ick ick ick" and running all my silverware through the dishwasher.
