(our own kids tolerate :-) everyone else 'til the last other kids begin to fade at approx 11pm, and they regularly outlast the last parent who usually gives up at just before 1am, sometimes going 'til nearly 3! i'd like to see some competition here!) for further details reply here or call me at home at 864-4039. if it's a last minute decision at your end, the number at gb's house is 876-0390. (parking is relatively easy in the city hall _annex_ lot across the street on broadway). hastily, but sincerely, - richard .
