Hi Myriam, I've asked my wife is she could manage to be in town on the 2nd and take my son to school in the morning, so I could get an early train to Bern and be there for most of the day (leave in time to pick him up) to help with the booth. I'll let you know what she says (she is travelling these two weeks, so we talk sporadically).
take care, Randy --------------------------- Randy Earl randy.e...@gmail.com +41 79 776 9414 On Wednesday 14 January 2009 20:15:50 Myriam Schweingruber wrote: > Hi all, > > Happy New Year everybody! > > Let's hope everybody has refueled their batteries as there is a lot of > work waiting for us this year again :) > > 1.
