Depending on how late you guys are there Friday, I should be able to make it. Right now I'm scheduled to land at IAH around 7:45 PM, but there's a really good chance I'm going to finish up work with my client this week early on Friday and be able to make the 3:00 flight back to IAH, which means landing about 5:00 PM. So hopefully I'll be able to make it. If not, will try in December.

As for December, it sounds good to me. Fridays are generally better than Saturdays in December. Right now, just about any Friday that month is good.
