Sue71 is coming to town

[CathyCA]

We are buying a townhome/condo with our older daughter and our closing is at 4PM Friday and we'll move her outta our house, empty her storage unit and move her into her new abode that evening and Saturday morning and afternoon. I can't imagine all the stuff we'll be doing on Thursday. Mrs. DD is counting the days...

Closing at 4PM on Friday? I'll pray that your closing attorney encounters no problems with the bank or the new HUD forms, that the bank wires the funds in to your attorney's office on time, and that the docs get recorded before 5. How far is the closing attorney's office from the courthouse?

We've got Thursday 4/29 or Friday 4/30 as back-up dates. We shall see.

Fingers, arms, legs, toes and eyes crossed that all goes well!

Tilly, Sue and I, along with Duke2narow and possibly Fordgrl, are going to the program part of Thursday night's Men's Bball banquet. We're going to dinner at Neo China (behind where the old South Square Mall was, now Sam's Club and Target). If any of y'all are going to the program and would like to join us, please let us know. If we grow any larger, we'll need to make a reservation to be sure to have a large table.

I am not sure I will make it for dinner but hope to catch y'all before the banquet starts. Are we gonna have a CTN meeting place at any specific time in or around CIS?? I do not yet know where my seat is until I pick up tickets from will call. Did someone say the doors open at 7:30?

A meeting place will be determined, my first thought is near the Hall of Fame room entrance in the Hall of Honor near section 13 before the ceremony starts. Meeting after could be late and folks would want to get home, depending on how long the seniors speak. Other suggestions are welcome, especially from those of you who are actually going to the banquet portion of the evening.

Text me when you get there and tell me where you all are meeting AFTER the banquet. I probably have the longest drive home, but would love to see you guys to say "hey." I'm not sure where our table will be, but I'm fairly certain that it will be as far away from the team as possible since Mom, Miss Fran, my kid and I are peons in the world of Duke Basketball.

Here is the official banquet/program info for Thursday night. Got this in an email this morning.

Not I. This is Katie's b-day weekend and we have lots of family coming to town and other assorted merriements going on.

Sue said on her FB page that Ol' Roy was on her flight. Careful landing, he might throw a player on the tarmac.

[Miles]

Did you know that April 21st (the date of your post) is also the anniversary of you receiving the Red Jacket?

OK, well, I certainly enjoyed having the honor of briefly meeting Ozinator, Tillster and the Sue-est. I'm sure I was merely a blip on their coolness meter but they were all first rate people enjoying one hell of a Duke themed evening last night.
Best to all of them and let's look forward to the Blue-White game next Oct/Nov...drinks on the husband-of-weezie!

Weez, you are way up on the coolness meter! Great to meet you too. And if the Blue-White game coordinates with a football game, you'll have to come to the Brunchgate! You can even bring husband-of-weezie, especially if he's buying the drinks! ;)

And Mrs. Ozzie and I had the pleasure of hosting The Tillster (I LIKE that name!), her boytoy K68 and the Sue-est at the Friday Night Crash at CCJC here in Smithfield. Thanks for driving down!

Sorry we didn't get to see Sue and the BBB. Maybe next year will be easier. I do hope Sue will get in for a football or basketball game this year. Sounds like you all had a great time.

I'm still peeved that the devildeac family never connected with the weezer and ricks68 while we were all in Indy.

Current plans are for Sue to attend the Alabama game. But, you know how life has a habit of changing things without consulting us.

That will be awesome! I'll see her in a few weeks, but it would be great to get some pics of real Sue at a game instead of flat Sue. I wonder if we can recreate any of those photos? We'll have to get GP to suit up for Syracuse again on TV for a couple of them.
