I will decline for that tonight, thanks for teh offer. Crista called this morning and is not feeling all that well. So I will use tonight to earn some Brownie points to bank for a later evening. I can never get enough brownie points. :) I hope Damon feels better, tell him the best way to get rid of the virus is to put Cyndi on the back porch. :) You folks have a great night... I will see ya next week or talk with ya later this via email. -----Original Message----- From: Matt McKeehan [mailto:matt.mckeehan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Mon 12/9/2002 1:01 PM To: 'dungeoncrawl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Cc: Subject: [dungeoncrawl] Re: Tonight We can do a movie, we could play some xbox, I'm up for that..., I always like seeing jim destroy people in fighting games ....

I have the time to do something tonight, and I'm more than willing to do something. I don't care what. Movie, games, etc. However, if everyone else wants to cancel because of time, that's fine too. Moving to another night would be very problematic for me as well. This month is just so darn busy! Matt McKeehan wrote: > Hey good afternoon. Damon is sick and will be canceling tonight.
