I was so disapointed to miss out but the food poisoning lasted all evening. I'm much better now, only with an aversion to cheeze for the next little while!
Hey Tim! We had some great fun too....it was a real pleasure to hang with you guys and party it up on a snowy day in Montreal. Hope to keep in touch, Sandra J.
