That's a good question.

I'd be interested in a positive answer, but unfortunately find myself
unable to volunteer for this year's organisation due to my recently
becoming a father rather breaking my understanding of the passage of
time.

Or, to put it another way: Blimey, it's November already!??! What the
hell happened to September and October?

I get that feeling regularly, though for different reasons. Also, it's
an extremely odd sensation in, say, April.


Anyway, I'm off eclipse hunting at the moment, so limited net access. If
nobody has stepped into the role by next week, I will make motions in
that direction :)


btw, anybody know who is missing for the next line in the radio froup
production?

If you want to be on the cardslist sent your real address (including the
country) to me.

Thanks for volunteering!

I have sent an email, hopefully the two addresses I've addressed it to
will see that at least one gets to an inbox you check sufficiently
frequently.

Two posts and one mail in a day! Sorry for being so absent, but I check
afda too rarely these days...

I did sent a christmas card mail, though.

Sadly I've been away from Usenet, just seeing this thread now. Maybe a
calendar reminder to myself for next year and a resolution to be more
attentive.

Regardless, a Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year Too!

As I have not yet sent my cards, he could easily sneak into my list, if
I got his address.

Hoopy days still available this year, I hope. I wish!

Thanks! A bunch of people have sent cards already, a task unto itself, so
no pressure for a repeat endeavor. Should Jan get my info (finicky wifi in
this restaurant, not at the end of the universe- just Applebee's). I'll
happily send cards to all, and to all a good night.

Ummm.... I just mailed out my cards, but the only list I could find
was dated in early December. It had six names on it, including mine.

If there are other names I need to mail please send me the list again!
