So is it going to be 'here' or 'there'
for you this year?

The wife gave me two tasks to accomplish as prerequisites for attending this
year. I completed both today *and* completely redid the space under the
kitchen sink, including fresh contact paper!

I'm there barring plague or another major surgery.

I thought it was "Wounded Knee"

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year (project at $ork is

I'll bring a bottle of Manx Spirit.

Step 5. Ask "What's this 'Highflight Aviation Services' and why isn't it listed?"
