Not withstanding that "tomorrow" was never going to be enough notice to get there, I'm tied up with both SPAG and TCP chapter 9 review teleconferences tomorrow.<br>
<br>
It would (have been) wonderful for a recording since I doubt I'd be able to even just watch a live stream.<br>
<br>
*sigh*.<br>
<br>
So many people with so much technology, and we can't even manage what a mothers knitting club seems to be able to.<br>
