Calling Party this Wednesday December 10

Yes! There will be a Calling Party on Wednesday.

My house, 7:00pm, directions here.

And yes, we will drink a toast to the memory of my father, who died on Sunday. We're not particularly sad - we miss him, but then we've been missing him for several years as his Alzheimer's worsened. We're glad that he was spared the last stages of that awful disease, and glad that his death was swift. My brothers will be here on Wednesday, and my sister the following day. We plan to eat and drink and tell Dad stories. And laugh.

Your laughter and your dancing are also as welcome as your prayers for us, and we particularly thank you for those! A (gentle) hug for Mom, who graciously opens her house for us to have these parties, wouldn't be completely out of order, either.

We have many calling opportunities open - New Year's Eve, the Youth Contra, and the next First Saturday Hatchling Dance are all within four days at the end of this month!

The theme for the Hatchling Dance is "our favorite dances from 2008", so be thinking which one is yours!
