Checking In Over the Break

I'm about to put up a sign-in sheet for our Winter Break meeting, but I wanted to be sure first that I remembered correctly the consensus that eventually emerged... we decided to hold the meetings on Monday, January 9, at Yerba Buena Park (weather permitting, a change in venue to a cafe if it's bitter cold or raining or both), is that right? Most of you have sent me writing, but those of you who have produced significant edits, elaborations, new writing since then feel free to get that to me and we can discuss most recent drafts next week when we meet. How is everybody doing? Definitely the schedule gets a bit more hectic in the Spring term so do be sure your focus has shifted from holiday grog to producing polished drafts!
