I thought that I'd said that we need people to take the rooms near the parties but John may have done so first. We really do need them and, having had only one offer, am going to start soliciting them. I'd also strongly suggested that we do postcards as the final mailing but didn't say that we were going to do so -- that sort of thing is Sam and Michael's decision. And thanks for putting in a more tactful version of my comments about our new CSM! "Elspeth said the SMOFS email list has a check-in area for people known to be okay. Doctors have stopped trying to withdraw Elspeth's medication until after Capclave. Her cats are doing well. She had a laptop computer for anyone who helped her pack her boxes. She has to move since her apartment complex is being converted to condos. This conversion has caused plaster dust on everything, and occasionally shut off her water." Sorry for not getting back to you; yes, I'd prefer that the comment about medication not go into the Journal. It was said to answer several people who'd asked all at once (the answer being all at once, not the questions) and to indicate that barring travel, fire, flood, famine or other such things I shouldn't be missing WSFA meetings for at least a while. I may have been unclear about a couple of things: The computer is actually a desktop. I need to put up some book shelves so that I can get all the books stacked on the floor sorted out and, having not used an electric drill in about 20 years, would like to swap the computer for manual labor. I'm not going to have to move until the end of May; my lease renewal was the last lease signed. The "packing" was over this past weekend because they're redoing all the plumbing and I had to get everything out of the closets, from under the sink, and from several other areas so the request was a joke. Not to worry: when it does come time to move I'll be asking for help! As an aside, fortunately the plaster was only once, although landing on my head, and it's to be hoped that they'll stop shutting off the water once the plumbing has been done. Elspeth
