yay! Beverley is going wine touring -- I wasn't sure and I haven't yet had much chance to say more than Hi!

Lilty, can you send me your arrival information so that we make sure we get you. My profile addy should work. If not, let me know here, and we'll figure something out.

DX, I'll email you after I check a train schedule, but I know I'll be coming into North Station Tuesday morning. I just got a call to hit the pub for a late drink, so I'll look it all up in an hour or so when I get back.

Yay!!!

What a day - I can't believe I actually had to say good-bye to Nilly. The Nilly-Q was wonderful, I don't think any of us wanted it to end. I finally had to bid farewell as CJ had hit max and was a tired little boy. Hec was amazing playing catch for hours on end, not just with both young boys but with Steph too.

It was so marvelous to meet Deena and get the added bonus of her fantastic bath bombs. My car smelled so wonderful on the drive home. Deena is a DOLL.

I loved meeting everyone, I wish words could do justice to the foamy-ness of this group. I am honored to be able to hang out here.

I am posting from the basement of a hotel in an earthquake zone. This would make me concerned except for the fact that I adore that Hec ended his last post with, "So to sum up: pie, beer, KristinT." I am too amused to be concerned with silly little things like earthquakes.

I had a lovely evening with everyone--only wish I had gotten there earlier! Tonight, Deb took Nilly, Bev, Ginger, and I out for a nighttime driving tour of San Francisco. There are not enough wonderful adjectives to describe this city.

And Nilly! Did I mention how absolutely wonderful Nilly is? Nilly in person is better than Nilly online, which is saying quite a bit. I adore Nilly.

It was so great seeing everyone tonight--familiar faces and new ones.

Unfortunately, sold out flights and a slight change of travel plans means I am going to have to miss out on wine country tomorrow. I'm catching a 5:30 flight to LA, so I'm hoping to meet up with everyone for brunch before I go...? Beth B, I'm looking at you!

cereal to add...

Things I hate: not having reliable access to a computer and/or complete contact info for people other than via computer.

Makes travel planning difficult.

Just FYI: I sent an email out to San Francisco and LAistas who I'd talked to about seeing before I head back to CT. No worries if it doesn't work out. Call my cell phone to make plans--I'll have it on me.

Note to Nora: I am a yes, exactly that on your timetable. Have you thoughts on when we should arrive on Monday?

Re: Monday night, I think the time to arrive is between 7 and 7:30. Or later, if you like, but not earlier...

what Jon said.

Does anyone else need directions to my place?

I've scratched Lilty off the dinner list so I have, for TUesday night, Tom, Nora, Nilly, Jon B., Ellen, Theodosia, Nutty, Jen, DXM, MattTBF, vwbug, Emily, and Frankenbuddha. 13 of us!
