mwa!

You will give me a call when you're in Ithaca won't you?

And does the last weekend in September mean 23-24 or 9/30-10/1?

Ohhh, you're good, sir. You're very, very good.

I mean 9/30-10/1, as my crazy Uncle Kit won't be in town the other weekend. Which is too effing bad, because...grrr! All My Sons!

And I'll give you a ring-a-ding! Although I'm starting to entertain the possiblity of coming up two weekends in a row to see all the folk I'd like to see...and why not? So crazy it just might work....stay tuned.
