Nathan emailed us to say that he'd changed the time of the Pho dinner to 6:30 instead of 7 since some of us need to go to sleep / work earlier the next day. Apparently, there's dessert at the townhouse later - DAMMIT! At least Eric will be there, heh. Connie also emailed me asking if Jon and Harmony were in Italy - bit too late to ask for souvenirs, haha! Turns out that she's thinking about going to Italy for a vacation next month. They have similar interests, so picking their brains would be a good idea!

Edit: Teunis says he's coming on Tuesday, and it's likely a stopover before going to Rhiannon's, as she's busy with a funeral. Sounds fine to me!

Trivia fact for Monday, Sept. 13: What popular candy was developed and marketed by a man who had once worked as a dairyman for the Hershey Chocolate Company? Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The man who created the chocolate-covered peanut butter treat was Harry Burnett Reese. His company was purchased by Hershey's for $23.5 million in 1963.
