WEEKLY ITEM #1: The Weekly Schedule

I would also like to assure everybody that as long as we are on our
best behavior, we should be fine. The local authorities have been
cracking down on large events, but we are well outside of central
Beijing and while our group is big, but it's not that big.
Besides...Reid won't be around to provide us with his landshark....so
I think we are in the clear.
