Day Off!

So after Monday's meeting, at which a number of pending issues will be addressed and Acts 10-11 debriefed, we will get a full report posted here for our dedicated readers.

We appreciate your interest, if not all your emails asking, if we had walked in front of a bus in the meantime. Truth is, all of us -- CC Chair Alessandra Pandarese, the other CC delegates and your Ed. -- are running flat out during these Acts with our own team responsibilities. They seem to grow with each succeeding Act.
