Wednesday is usually my busiest day, but if I can reschedule people then I will try to be there.
One thought: coffee instead of tea? I actually prefer drinking tea, but one thing that's been amusing me about the Teabaggers all along is that (as you know, Bob) the Americans drank coffee to be patriotic at the time of the Revolution. The Tea Party people claim to be harking back to the Boston Tea Party--but (unless my recollection of US history is entirely off) that was about throwing tea-as-symbol-of-Britain into the harbor. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong on that.
(And yes, I've seen a little about the Coffee Party that's been forming recently. I'm not connected with that in any way, and haven't decided whether I want to be.)
