Laura----
BUT WHAT WILL I  DO UNTIL THEN???

Of course it can and will be postponed starting NOW. It has happened before
but never quite like this time with lotsa promises to take part, w
short bits and
no presumption of lotsa prep. I hope.    (Hey, I would schedule it for 2020 if
we would get a quorum that lasts.) I was just gonna start reading it again and
start posting whatever, so now I'll hold my posts behind and post on another
book or three.

So, first week of  March? Ides of March might be propitious.

I know what I will probably do in the meantime. Overprepare so I can drive
everyone away when we start.

And, since I wanted a cold jump start, I threw myself in first. BUT, I will
let that honor go to you, or whoever else wants to go first, if you don't.

ALL---don't let the move build up static mental energy and fears and doubts
and whatevers so that real interest is gone by March.

Until We Meet Again,
Mark
