Note also that due to Huge Major Urgent Work Project I am likely to be working long hours and coming home half-dead in the evenings, so don't get too excited about the apparent vacancies. ;-) Some late dinners and walks will be possible, though.

Brunch? Tempting
Late dinners and walks? Always good.
It's been a while since I did karaoke.
My wife and I are fans of Sean Altman.

I think it should be Huge Urgent Major Project.

Just sayin'

Re: Acronyms

[navrins]

Agreed, though we should perhaps be clear that it is a Work-related Huge Urgent Major Project.

I'd be very interested in Cyrano on the 15th! Also in karaoke, but I wasn't sure from your calendar whether that was a Tremont Shul event.

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

Karaoke is not a shul event, and I'm not sure I will actually get to it on *any* of those Fridays due to shul things, but definitely not the night of the dinner. However, I like to list things that I think people should know about, especially so I don't forget myself just in case. :-)

Cyrano on the other hand *might* become a shul event, if I decide to drag more people along, but that's fine too!
