Hopefully Jason can give us another badge this year!

I can reserve a few rooms again at the lodge if anyone wants to stay there again..

[Scooterboy]

Very possible!

[RedRacket]

I'm in!

[kgf3076]

I'm going to try to make it again. I'm a definite maybe.

We are in....& Mike, you should try for a block of rooms @ the B.C. Lodge...maybe 10....??? O.K.I...fills them up....
I can think of...
1. Denny & Sharon
2. Mike & Kathy
3. Scooter & Patty
4. Dick & Jeannie
5. Mark & Mary
6. Jeff & Faith
????? & I know there will be more !!!!!!

[Scooterboy]

We will be there just later Friday night and we will stay in the Lodge for sure!

[pezjunki]

ok the lodge is booked up on Sept 28th-29.. The only other date that is open is October 26-27. There isn't a football game that weekend, so the roads should be good. So, does that sound good? We can always get a block of rooms in Columbus as our plan B.

[Looter]

Maybe move back to Columbus, Mike...Weather is getting a little on the "Iffey" side, that late in October...What is everyone else's opinion..???

....besides, there are some nice hotels, in the Columbus area....

[doddg]

1. I'm in. Columbus saves me money since I won't stay Saturday night, and if money is tight, I can drive 45 minutes from my driveway to be there Saturday morning, although I would probably still drive down Friday evening just to eat with everyone.
2. And, if they say to meet at 9:30, I now know that means between 10:30 and 11:00, ha! I don't know who we wait on, they must be more important than the combined total of everyone else, ha! I want their name, so I can give them a wake-up call every 1/2 hour starting at 5:00 am, ha!
3. I'm sure if I show up at 10:30 everybody would be gone, laughing the whole time!
4. I'm such an inspiration!
5. Of course, it's lonely at the top. I guess I need to ask myself, "the top of what?" or, "how's that working out for you?"
6. Sorry, I'm in a really good mood, and have less pressure on me than in the past few weeks. Beginning of a new semester means lots of reports and new students, etc!

That's fine with me. Sept 27-28 should be better weather, those cold drives are tough!

[Scooterboy]

October would be better for us but I am not thrilled with the cold drive. Do what you think is best Mike. We will make it work.

Just don't move it to earlier in September.

[RedRacket]

...those cold drives are tough!

Freezing temperatures & rain never stopped us before

[Looter]

The dates are almost the same as last year...and the weather was great....and to top that.... The last weekend in September.... is my "B-Day".....!!!!!!!

1. The "8." in front of "doddg," made me smile, thanks for the humor.
2. Been a little stressed lately with preparing a portfolio for one of my evaluations from the Principal, so as to justify my existence, ha!
3. I'm used to having an evaluator who has 20 teachers to check out, so noone looks at the details; this one has too much time on their hands with only 4 people to evaluate in a small school.
4. It's like defending a Master's Degree Thesis!
5. Even though I don't like any of the people going, I'm still looking forward to the drive itself.
6. Sorry, I have no way to vent my dry humor anymore!

1. Great, shouldn't have waited till January to start my diet, should have started a year ago January!
