[Lilug-si-sig] Tuesday SI-SIG; Wednesday Island Labs

[odinson]

Yes this was announced at LILUG last week.  I told folks they should go 
ahead and meet without me if they like at LILUG last week.  I meant to 
follow up with email today, but some serious problems with out vacation 
at exactly the wrong time.  All hell broke loose and I had to switch camp sites.

Tonight the kids fell asleep as soon as they went horizontal.  Yeah that 
was my email window.

Thanks for keeping me posted, glad you carried on without me.

All things being equal, next time I'll write as well.  Sorry about that.
