SCLGal: Please do not worry about missing the get together. I was so disappointed not to have met you and your husband but I am sure you will coem back to NYC )or I will come to S.A.) and see you both then.
As I said Flyme2, you are the master of Montreal and I nominate you to organize the Montreal F-T get together. Basically you select several dates, find enough people to come on one date and have FUN FUN FUN!!!
I HAVE MADE A VOW TO GO TO MONTREAL NEXT YEAR. JUST DON'T REALLY WANT TO GO ALONE.
