Re: Wcenter Breakfast in Phoenix

Glenda--Add me to the list.  I am sorry to have missed the breakfast last
year, but I was 7 months pregnant and without a coat that would button
against the Milwaukee cold.  But I have no excuse not to come this year,
since as one of my colleagues here pointed out, I will be able to sleep
through the night at CCCCs for the first time since Karl was born last
June--he still wakes up twice a night most nights!  Mexican in the morning
sounds divine, especially after a good night's sleep.  Carrie Leverenz
