hmmmm, I see this post, but I seemed to have missed begging elsewhere. I generally remember begging, especially if it is done well.

I had to re-organize my phone number list after Pennsic this year because of some other stuff that happened with our family, so I do not have your number actively in my phone. It is probably in my collection of useful papers at home, in Buffalo. If you'd like to email me your number, dicea(dot)deme(at)gmail(dot)(com), I'd be happy to have the number on hand in case The Girl requires it. And thank you very much for offering to be available for helpfulness as she travels today.
