I know better than to even ask... ;) And will you be twisting another northshore arm as well since he didn't show up for lunch last Thursday?

"Generally" speaking the other "NorthShore" arm is unavailable for evening type stuff....has to do with the combination of FT'ers and SO's :)....but the idea is certainly a good one, so I'll put in a call and see if he'd like to join in prior to leaving on our FT excursion to LHR!!

Thanks for the heads up in any event....See ya tomorrow! Dave

Oh yeah, I kinda forgot about that little jaunt to LHR....and I get to have dinner with you (kinda) on Wednesday night! :cool:

<shark music on> the arm twisting has started <shark music continues>

consider me twisted :D

Yeah, where's the other Illini representative??

Must I do everything???? <whine off>

This is just SO easy to laugh at, it almost seems "unfair"!!!!

:D :D


Dave

Have a great time all of you .... and I know I won't have to force you to have one for me !! Should have stayed the extra couple of days !

Folks:

Due to circumstances beyond my control (mother-in-law out of town) and having four (count 'em FOUR cross-legged dogs at our house who have been unattended since 7:00 this morning) and would otherwise be left alone till 8:30 or so tonight and the mess to be cleaned up would be, well, anger-inducing if I left it to my wife to attend to.

Put me down for a raincheck on this one and I'll effort the next outing.

We tried to tell you it would be a good idea... But never fear, we'll have one or a few for you! Hopefully will see you later in the month on your side of the "pond"

Scott, sorry you'll not be able to make it. As a dog owner, I understand all-too-well the issue of cross-legged dogs. Hope to catch you next round! BTW, if you want to catch us at Meiers after you've let the dogs out... :)

Pulled a major dummy! I thought this was going to be this Thursday. Crap! I will try to make the next one.

Due to good fortune and an understanding wife, I was able to make it and meet most of the crew again. Nice to meet a couple of new faces. Starting to ease back into FT again. :)

Just two things: 1) "Happy Wife, Happy Life!", and 2) Glad you're "easing back in"!! It was great to see you again, and it was fun to see the rest of the crew as well.....

Best Wishes, Dave
