This was originally supposed to be just after Thanksgiving, right? You’ll be lucky to pull it off by New Year’s. ---

I hear the Public Garden is lovely in May. I don’t know if you can ever find a time that suits everybody. Eventually you’ve just got to pick a date and whoever can make it does. ---

No! I was kidding! There is no excuse for a post-Thanksgiving dopefest to be pushed back to May. There should have been one in late November, and then we could start planning the next one for May. It looks like I’ll be back in Boston on the 30th, and available for a few weeks at least. Plan accordingly. ---
