Bumping the thread to say that I don’t believe I’ll be attending the competition tonight. Unless something changes. Which it often does. So, don’t count on me, but don’t be shocked if I show. ---

We’re in. No rehearsals for any of my scenes, tonight, so it’s all good! ---

I’ll be meeting family at the train station, so I’ll miss. Planning to attend next week, though. ---

Hey, anybody else get a priority call on the big white phone early this morning? “Yes, hello, this is bad ketchup on the line…” ---

Oh no! I’m fine myself, as is (last I heard) **Lady Cheek**. I’ll ask her tonight how she felt. I do recall feeling a tad queasy last night about 1/2 way through the quiz, but I told myself I convinced my body that I’d eaten something nasty. ---

Yep. Been in and out of the bathroom since about 4am. Made for an interesting day, I tell you whut. Oh, and there she goes grumbling again. Clicks Post and runs— ---

I now know way more about your bathroom habits than I ever have about any other teammate. And I’m fine, but I didn’t eat anything. However, thanks to the **Cheek** family antics, I smelled drunker than I ever have before when I got home. And in the car. And probably in the bar, though it just kind of blended in there. ---

Turns out that, once you bring a baby home, you’ve got to do stuff for them – feed, bathe, change diapers, and whatnot. And there’s a class we’ll be taking to learn how to do that, because otherwise I might accidentally turn our infant into stew instead of bathing her or him. And that class will be on the next two Tuesdays. Which means I won’t be at Trivia. I’d love to do the Irish Emigrant on Monday night, though, if anyone else is up for it. Or somewhere else. I’d be up for a Sunday night, although we’re going to and from Portland this weekend so timing might be tight. Anyone? Monday? Sunday? ---

I could do another night. Anything to save that poor child from inevitable parenting mayhem. ---

I’m planning on going to the Irish Emigrant for tonight’s quiz, unless no one else plans on showing up. My brother should be there as well. I won’t be able to check the thread during the day, but I’ll get to it this evening to see what’s up. And of course, don’t let me screw up plans for the George & Dragon tomorrow night – the rest of you don’t have to suffer for my lack of education. ---

Tonight actually works better for me than tomorrow. Count me in. ---

Unless something changes in the coming hours, I plan to do both tonight at the Emigrant and tomorrow at the Dragon. ---

I probably won’t be there tomorrow night. But I’m looking forward to a change of pace tonight. Plus that open-face turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes. MmmmMMMmmmm. ---

I myself can’t make it tonight, but I’m trying to see if **Lady Cheek** will be showing up. Updates as events warrant. ---
