OK, just a heads up...

[Frank Church]

....for those who will be away from home over the holidays until after the
1st Jan. I have decided to endure another GFS so this is a heads up if your
planning on signing up this year. "official" sign up starts on Jan 1st, but
I'll take names starting now for the benefit of those who won't be near a
PC to signup on the 1st. Always the reminder...don't sign up unless you're
reasonably sure you can complete your ties for the swap. This will be
repeated again on New Years Day but, the signup ends on Jan 15, and the
flies must be in to me by NLT Feb.15. This year I am moving and that will
start in late Feb so I won't have time to deal with the laggards. Get the
picture? Ah, I love the smell of napalm in the morning!

Hi Frank.

TBD.

It actually pains me to even think of epicurian Stan eating hospital food,
especially as the holidays approach. It must be killing his sensibilities.

You are correct. He snuck out of the mental ward last night and is back

....good to hear from you Ron, it took GFS2005 to smoke you out eh? :-)
I really don't have a clue as to how many will sign up, but based on past
swaps, you can look for anywhere from 35 to 45...Jan 15 will tell the tale.
Stay with us if you can.
