I understand that there's work and this is so damned last minute. I really hate that aspect but my schedule depended on Joe's since he was coming, too. HOWEVER, I *am* returning the first week of November. If schedules don't mesh for this visit, then you have plenty of warning to run for the hills prepare for another visit then.

I'm thinking the best opportunity to visit with everyone might be on Sunday, whether it's brunch, dinner, or something else. We'll have a car this time so it opens a few more options. As if we needed more. :|
