<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>In opening, let me offer my apologies for the bandwidth on a
personal, off-topic matter. As Grķa and I announced at the January Gate’s
Edge populace meeting, and again recently on the list, we are in the process of
moving from a ground level, three bedroom apartment to a ground level, two
bedroom apartment halfway across the same complex. Earlier today, we picked up
the keys and this weekend, we are moving the furniture and living essentials
(kitchen, bed/bathroom, clothing, etc.) from the old apartment to the new.
Over the following week (Tuesday through Friday) we’ll be moving boxes
over carload by carload, and on the following weekend (the 19th and 20th) we’ll
be deep cleaning the old apartment.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The reason that I’m posting this is that, as mentioned
before at populace, we really need your help.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Most of you know that Grķa’s back has been bothering
her for years. Recently we were told why, and what to do to minimize the pain:
no bending, no twisting, and no lifting anything over 10 pounds until otherwise
told. We have a couple of folks that will be here this weekend to help, but a
house full of furniture for three people will make for a very long, hard day.
So once again, we’re requesting any assistance that you care to provide.
Since this is the last act that I’ll be doing on the computer before
service is set up in the new apartment Saturday morning, we’d like to
request that if anyone would like to come help, even for an hour or two, to
please *call* at 281-877-0357 to let us know you are coming and to get directions
here. It’s a little late to call this evening, but you can call Saturday
morning, 2/12/2005, starting anytime. (Furniture’s still here, phone
service is already over there, you’re not going to wake us up.) Those who
come to help will be rewarded with food and drink and a housewarming party in
the near future.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

fact that Saturday evening’s food bribery shall consist of chicken and
dumplings, beef stroganoff, homemade New York style plain and chocolate
cheesecakes, and homemade brownies. We’ll wing lunch together as a
group. Since everyone has their own preferences, BYOB, please.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
