Finally…
Gena and I worked on this schedule months ago, but I've been so swamped that it has stayed on put on a couple of sheets of ugly yellow lined paper. Until now. So here's the deal:
The reunion is going to run from the evening of July 22 through noon on July 26 (Wednesday through Sunday). If you can't make it there on time, no problem. If you want to arrive early, great! Gena and I decided that it would likely be hard for people to get more time off of work than that (plus we might get sick of each other if it's any longer).
