**Joe\_Cool** and **JerseyDiamond** are moving far far away. ☹ Let’s send them off in style! Saturday, January 25th. Hoboken, NJ. [Arthur’s Tavern](http://www.arthurstavern.com/). 5:00 pm. Arthur’s is on Washington and Third in Hoboken. NYC people can take the PATH to Hoboken. Arthur’s is a fun place with great big steaks for cheap. It’s family friendly. They don’t take reservations, so we’re going to do an early dinner, and then if people feel like going out after, there are plenty of places around there. Another option, if enough people are coming, is to get a private room. In that case, there is a prix fixe menu ($23) with garlic bread, choice of steak, ribs, or fish, soft drink, and dessert. There is a $50 room charge. So, we can do that if we want, or we’ll just take a regular table. So, who’s in? ---

Well, I’m about an 8 hour plane ride away, so I’ll have to pass on the festivities. But all the best with your move, anyhow. 🙂 ---

Nah, we’re going to New Mexico. Plenty of computers and internet access there, but we won’t be able to hang out with our friends from NYC anymore for a while. ---

I don’t see why not. This is just to sorta throw my hat (a fedora, natch!) into the ring. I’ll confirm in a day or two, after checking with my Social Secretary. ---

Alas, the War Department has informed me that such deployment is not in the offing. I’ll have to take a Pasadena on this one, unfortunately. ---

I’l try really, really, really hard to be there. It looks to be about a 1.5 hour drive for me to get there. ---

**Jersey** , maybe you can ask an Admin to change your screen name to **Albuquerque Amethyst**. 🙂 I wish you both all the best and in a nod to another thread, let me offer “May your God go with you”.
