Else-web, I had to RSVP in the negative to an event on the day before my birthday (due, more than anything else, to the prohibitive logistics of traveling a thousand miles to go out to dinner, even though the company would be swell).

"I'd love to, but htis happens on the day before I get called 'Dennis'* for a year."
