Ben, Ruth, and Luke,
We need to begin planning Mom and Dad's big party. How about we use that as a good excuse to all hang together? Could the three of you travel up here for a weekend in April so that we could hang out and work together? I'd come home, but my vacation time is all used up because of the London trip and the Marathon. Ben, you could bring Andra, Ruth you could bring Doug, Luke, you can bring the Latino princess Ruth brings back for you from Argentina. We would make reservations, create the invitations, assemble the guest list, call the relatives, get them on board for our gift, ect.... We'll buy a ton of food, feast together, get some golfing and disc golfing in. What do you say?
April 7-9 or 21-23 would work out for me.
