I know that S. T. really wants me there, but I doubt that I’ll be able to attend because of the situation with caring for me ma. She freaks out if I’m gone for over an hour and hates having a stranger sit with her. So — no, I won’t be attending. But there will be so many wonderful guests, and the choice of films is magnificent! Have a great time, my darlings!
