Tom, I am tentative till Wednesday. My wife is due on the 29th. She is not too comfy with my being 4 hours away if she goes into labor. She has a Dr. appointment on Wed. and she will give us an idea of how far the baby has dropped, any dilation, etc. If early delivery is likely, I (DAMMIT!) can't come. If Dr. says "still got a while" then I'll be there.
I'll let you know Wed. AS for my opinion on the events: Kemp BS lunch & BS BS drive BS winery tour (always fun) BS dinner wherever & BS BS home Hope I can come.
