My boss has dragooned me into helping at an event on Mercer Island. It goes until 7:30, and I probably have to help clean up afterward, so if I make it to trivia I’ll be late. At least it’s a wine & cheese event… ---

I’m in like Rin Tin Tin. I should be there early enough to snag a big table. If the recent happy trend continues, we’ll want one. ---

Maybe. Right now, I’m thinking “yes,” but… ---

I’m going to be in a training class all day, so I’ll kick this off: I should be there tonight, barring ice/freezing rain/impassable snowdrifts. ---

I can’t make it this week or next, but hope to squeeze in one more visit before the year changes. And a very happy one to you all. ---

I’m a probable for tonight. There may be bureaucratic nonsense and unnecessary ego stroking that might need to take place instead, though. ---

I’ll be there, assuming the weather doesn’t prevent me and assuming I get a good start on project wedding cake. ---

I’ll be there. The pub is within flurry-walking distance of home, even if the buses stop running. The pre-announced round topic for tonight is, if I recall correctly, Ancient History. **Merry,** you could get us extra geek points by answering everything in Hebrew or something. Assuming you didn’t die of Statistics last week. ---

I’m planning to be there. And I’ll be bringing my Mexican tan. > [@inkysplotchy](#): > > There may be bureaucratic nonsense and unnecessary ego stroking that might need to take place instead, though. Fine, but you still can’t have the presidential guest house. ---

I did not die of statistics but I do have a slight case of not wanting to get out from under the down comforter. It’s quite possible I’ll be there. BF might be too. ---

Downgrade me to a “probably not.” I haven’t felt all that well all day and I don’t want to push myself. And a time when I might have been useful too. :smack: ---

Ah, Trivia, how we’ve missed you! Who’s ready to return to that joyful field of intellectual battle? I am, for one. ---
