if i can just find a way to dare 'bug into sucking down a cylinder of helium, with a few ropes, hopefully everyone will get to see her at the parade!!!
vb, i hate to show you this: (my rant on the south city grille)

it's in the middle of page 3.
i might be willing to give it a try if that's where everyone decides.
'bug, you and i will work something out if all else fails.
if thanksgiving week is too difficult for everyone else, we could always do it sometime between now and christmas/hannukah/festivus, and just make it a holiday get together.
who'll bring the festivus pole?
