Hello Dani,

Yes, when I saw the date I was thinking "No!" as I am involved in an international organization dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th-century Europe, and we have an event that day called the 100 Minutes War in Sparta, NJ. Long story but Mike and I will be up VERY early to drive there and then head back home LATE that evening.
YES, I too have not written for quite some time but always enjoy reading and plan to interact more frequently. I find that process itself will oftentimes kick my muse in gear.

I hope you have a fantastic trip and enjoy all the wonderful people and places to see while you're here!

Hugs,
Lori
