I meant the "we" here. Not sure Kitty is going to want to make the trip. I'd like to come for sure. Probably arrive on Thursday as in the past.

It will be a little over two weeks after Asy leaves the DC area for Philly.

Not to late, but if you don't show up until Saturday Morning, you missed out on all day Friday.

I happen to know Jeff has a fresh jar of NZ Marmite on hand...

Not sure if he intends to use it as a prize for the first visitors, or a punishment for the late ones...

Either way, ENJOY
