Whoops, I just realized that Monday is the end of Thanksgiving long weekend! I emailed this to Karen (because I have an eye for details!), and she thanked me for catching that. She says she'll try finding another date for Ebisu sushi, haha. I've also suckered Chantelle into playing Wordscraper; she sent me a SCRABBLE WORLDWIDE invitation, but that excludes the US and Canada, probably for copyright / legal reasons!
