Ethan,
Well, now you know why she's called "Mutha Nature"!
For those of us who reserved rooms at the Lebanon Holiday Inn Express, I just got off the phone with Mike there and he is totally on top of the situation. He was already aware of the Michter's event, as he had worked out some details with another guest before me.
** If you just had reservations, no problem; call and cancel before tomorrow night.
** If you (like me) got the discounted prices by pre-paying online, those are non-refundable, BUT... the rate is good for the whole year, and y'all know we're gonna do this thing later in the spring anyway. The person Mike talked with set April 24th as a tentative date and transferred his reservation to then, so I did the same thing. That doesn't mean it's locked into that weekend (actually, I'd prefer a week or two later), but if we all do it together at least it will be easier to keep that part of it coordinated.
Ethan, I know you've put a lot of heart'n'soul into this, and the date was certainly appropriate. But no one in his right mind would have been out there visiting the Jug House in February even back thirty years ago. Well, except maybe Komlenic, but no one ever seriously accused Sam of being in his right mind, at least back then.
I'm still looking forward to enjoying a day in Shaefferstown, even more so if we can see the ground.
