I thought Thanksgiving is always on the 2nd Monday of October. This year, it'll be on 11 October!

P.S. Sorry, but I'm going to Asia the week of 22 November, too. KathyWdrf, I think you should go to Asia too. Weather then should be almost the same as that in San Fran, so you don't have to change your clothes!

I'll definitely be in Hong Kong. Perhaps a sidetrip as well, but haven't decided yet.

I'd only consider it if someone could promise me all the helium I could toke.

Hey Dan,

I will be in NYC that w/end, but not for the blowing up of the balloons (strange for an Irishman to miss the 'blowing up' )

I'll be arriving in NYC on Thurs pm, and leaving on Sat pm - just around for the Sales on Friday - here we go again !!! ^ ^

Might be around to meet up at some point if you're available - possibly lunch on Sat, when my feet and my wallet are as sore as each other !!

Let me know your thoughts.

Hope all is well !

John P.
