[sudoroom] Art murmur planning - meet this week?

[Tracy Jacobs]

Hi MArina,

That's probably a good idea.  I feel like I'm just coming out of a  
fog; I finally got prescribed antibiotics for what has been an ongoing  
illness for over a month.  I also am trying to meet another show  
deadline for September.  So, I'm afraid I am behind with other  
responsibilities.  Tomorrow works for me, anytime in the evening.
