Dave is not a blogger

In case you haven't noticed, and you haven't because you haven't been reading this...I am not a blogger. And apparently, none of you are either. Dan noticed, he is a blogger. I never kept a diary and never developed the skills or desire to jot down my thoughts and daily activities for others to read at some random later date. I don't think my brain processes information in a way that would even make my journal coherent, let alone interesting. So I understand that this blog will be used in a flurry once a year after our annual gathering, whenever that may be. And at least by me, mostly to post photos.

WYNE in October: This was the email suggestion I've been sending around to everyone. MLK weekend will not work for me due to the expected arrival of my second child sometime after Christmas. I initially suggested Labor Day weekend, but there are too many weddings to make it work for a large group. And since I know what my schedule, and I'm typically the one who puts this shit together, I'm suggesting October 12-15 in Eugene, OR. It works for me and by the individual emails I've sent, it seems to work for most of you.

How can we have a WYNE reunion only 10 months after the last gathering? Well, we either have it 10 months later or 24 months later. I'm pushing for 10 months between parties this year, then get back to the regular MLK weekend in 2009. And looking into the future, 2009 and beyond, we might want to consider exploring other cities with the WYNE weekend. At one point, Vats had suggested New Orleans, but then it sunk like Atlantis. Turns out it was a pretty good idea, but we were all too broke to take it seriously. Something to think about anyway.

See you in Eugene on October 12-15.
