**Samclem** mentioned in my 50th birthday thread that it might be time for one, and **BMalion** and I later discussed it. We were thinking maybe on the night of Sat. Oct. 25. Anyone interested? ---

The next weekend is Halloween, when many people have family plans. I’d prefer to go with the original Oct. 25 date, but may be able to make it on, say, Sat. Nov. 1, if necessary. ---

I wish NE Ohio was closer to SW Ohio, then maybe I could make it. 😉 ---

I see no reason that I wouldn’t be able to make it. Are we planning on costumes? I didn’t have any costume plans for this year, but I could toss together something simple like ninja, or maybe re-use one of my old costumes. ---

Being in a wheelchair, I offer my house because it works for people like me. Costumes are encouraged but not mandatory ( I’ll have one). When you are retired every day is a Saturday, how about Friday October 24th? ---
