UPCOMING ABSENCES 8/27 - Mike off in Atlanta on business. Consortium en route to California. ------------------------------ (Original post:) (We should probably have a persistent topic area for this ...) I am going to be in California next week, helping my mom toward moving out here (assisting both logistics and morale). My intent is to be on for the 9/26 game -- but it will be on different hardware than usual, so we all know what that means.
