i really wanted to get autumn and ryan to lion's arch before january 1st which is when the finale is being held of the winter holiday events. if we don't get them there before midnight tuesday night/wednesday morning, they will have to wait another year to see it and by then they may have moved on to other things (like Factions) and it won't be nearly as impressive. but between christmas at bryan's mom's tonight, bryan's dad and step mom coming to town for the weekend, and parties on new years even and day, i'm just not sure how much playing we're going to get done. i am willing to sacrifice monday to help them get through instead of working on my pants while bryan is out bird watching, but i don't know if they have to work then, and being 3 time zones ahead of them means we lose time on both sides of the day. darn the time zones...
