Note: I sent this message out already, but it doesn't seem to have gone through. My new computer set-up is still giving me various kinds of trouble, and this along with the message about the party Friday were rejected numerous times when I tried to send them, possibly because of how many people they were addressed to. I tried several things like dividing up the list of names into several messages and sending copies, but it wasn't clear if they were successfully sending or not. Anyway, enough about all that...
