Admittedly, I don't usually haul my books to Pennsic, especially ones that cost
$127!!  However, just 'cause you asked so nicely, I'll be sure to bring it
along.  I'll even try to pack it so that I can bring it down when we come for
dinner the evening of land grab.  We are still on for that, aren't we?  If so,
what can we bring?

Understand:  all of this is predicated on my being able to come.  I still don't
know what my job situation will be at that point.  We've already decided that,
if I'm still unemployed, I'll be there...and I plan on trying to make those two
weeks off part of my employment condition, when that time comes!  So I believe
I'll be there, but still don't know for absolutely sure!

Admittedly, I don't usually haul my books to Pennsic, especially
ones that cost $127!!  However, just 'cause you asked so nicely, I'll
be sure to bring it along.  I'll even try to pack it so that I can
bring it down when we come for dinner the evening of land grab.  We
are still on for that, aren't we?  If so, what can we bring?
Understand:  all of this is predicated on my being able to come. 
I still don't know what my job situation will be at that point.  We've
already decided that, if I'm still unemployed, I'll be there...and I plan
on trying to make those two weeks off part of my employment condition,
when that time comes!  So I believe I'll be there, but still don't
know for absolutely sure!
