Please let me know if you would like to come. This is especially important this week, since several regulars are going to be out of town, so if I haven’t heard from a quorum by the time I go to bed on Monday night, I will cancel the meeting, so that everybody can wake up on Tuesday morning knowing whether they have something scheduled in the evening.

Note that the warmup piece these days is not online yet, so if you need me to print you one, you should mention that when you say you’re coming.
