Now that we're meeting regularly by phone, I think we can do without
our usually day and a half meet-o-rama. I suggest instead that we meet
for half a day. Objections?

Assuming none, would those of you who are planning to attend please
review the schedule and indicate which of the four obvious slots
(Thursday AM/PM and Friday AM/PM) would and would not be acceptable.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
