"All the leaves are brown...." (and red, green, orange, some yellow)

"and the sky is gray..." (actually, it's a sunny, crisp 49°F here as I write this)

ANYWAY, what I'm getting at is, I and the entire firefly clan will be heading to sunny, (smokey? smoldering?) southern CA to visit  family over Thanksgiving from November 17 through the 24th. After landing in L.A., we'll be in Victorville, Redlands, Chino, and Ontario seeing her family, and in Laguna Beach to see my brother. We'll visit Disneyland sometime while we're there, but that's all we have  planned so far.

Sometime during all this rigamarole, I would love to have a meet-up with some fellow sifters. A while ago Lucky suggested the 21st (that still work for you, Lucky?), and I know there are more of you out there, at least before the map went all screwy. Ant? Youdiejoe? Grimm? I know you may have holiday travel plans yourself, but anyway let me know. Hope to see y'all soon!
