psongster and I were debating what to do for my birthday this year, and as
usual :-} I was looking for something slightly different. But since
I've been looking for something slightly different the past couple of
years, it's been a while since we had a simple, large party. And my
birthday falls on a Saturday this year, which is very convenient for
such purposes. So this year, a return to the default: we're throwing
our house open to all my friends Saturday, December 30th; I hope you
can join me.

No gifts, please, though you're welcome to bring contributions of
food. Lori's providing a birthday cake or two and some other food and
drink, but we can always use more to eat.

The party will start at 7:00, and partners and children and other
significant others are welcome. If you'd like to bring someone else
you think I'd enjoy, that's probably fine, but check with Lori or me
first (contrary to our wishes, the house isn't infinitely large).

Positive RSVPs are appreciated but not required. (We know that at
this time of year many people are out of town or partied out, so it
would be nice to know who to look forward to seeing.) If you need
directions, ping me by email. If you have any other questions, please
let me know.

And we hope we'll see you on the 30th!
