Congratulations Festiva!!!!!!

(wondering... might the plural of "Festiva" be Festivae or maybe even Festivus?)

P.S. Those extradition treaties are so hard to enforce. But, if you go, take me with you.

Anywhere with you, Skosh! Calgon, take us away!!! Smile

I think it's actually "A whole lot of frickin' Festivas"


So what's the deal with May? Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How?

Festiva, do ya think you could work a little magic and get us back to the lovely venue in Charm City that PH missed?

Other than this one, May weekends are clear, but that may change quickly Frown

I think I could do that! Memorial Day weekend is out for me, but every other weekend is alright. I'll need to know who's in or out, and what date we're talking about.

Not totally sure I can make it, but 26th is best for me. (I can't do 12th or 19th.)

All this presupposes you haven't changed the Md Offline bylaws to exclude Virginians.

Maybe in. Let me know the date and place.
June will be nearly impossible for me, as we will be in the South of France for 2 weeks, checking out the CdP's.

Oh, do I wish you were correct! The baby only woke up once each night until last night. I think he wanted to eat every hour on the hour!

He wanted to eat every hour on the hour? Takes after his dad.

Ain't no way we'll exclude Virginians, especially you! You're too important as an enabler! And you're a darn nice guy to boot!

at this point, we're definitely available the 26th, probably not available the 19th and possibly available the 12th.

I hate to say it, but I can't do the weekend of the 19th or 26th. I'll be in NY the 19th, and I've got family coming in the Memorial Day weekend.

I can still do the 12th or 13th. Does that work for anyone?

Unfortunately, I've got a client dinner that night. I could get together beforehand for a drink or two.

I'm free Sunday night, however... You in town?

My schedule is actually quite busy, too. I'm actually flying NY-San Antonio Sunday night for work. Flying back to NY on Monday night... then driving home Tuesday. That reminds me... I need to line up a dog sitter!

Enjoy NY anyway!

I'd love to stop in at IWM (never thought of doing that while in town before).

I just talked to the wife, and unfortunately we have to be out in Rockland County that afternoon (at her parents).

I know you'll get over not getting together with me that weekend, but my SISTER is going to kill me if I bring my kids up to NY and she doesn't see them. I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to get into the city at all now. Sunday morning and afternoon we have this Christening and after-party. Urgh. My sister's gonna be upset!

Blatant post count abuse!

Wasn't this thread originally about a MD Offline? Somehow it has seemed to morph into a MD new babies Offline. You guys gonna post pictures holding each others' kids? Possibly a real cute diaper changing scene? Razz Big Grin

Congrats to both families, BTW!

Forget Riedel stems, Baby bottles really do the trick!

You're right. Back to the MD Offline. Is anyone up for something next weekend?

No worries you two, I've just got to jump on opportunities to needle the group, and this was just too easy!

Tough month for me as well. Mothers Day weekend I am away golfing so the following weekend is our Mothers Day weekend, then the next is Memorial Day and we're away.

June doesn't look much better, a week in Italy and a few 2-day golf trips. Hopefully I can squeeze in something. I've got a few bottles and a few $$$ I need to get to Festiva.
