The Queen is preparing a Wednesday banquet for the Duchess and the Count. The Prince must attend and therefore his presence in chat is uncertain. No one else has such an excuse. My times for tonight are not accurate for Europe or the Pacific. We get started around 9:30 PM EST for those of us on the east coast, 8:30 PM CST and 7:30 PM MST for those of you in Chicago or in fly over country. I guess that means 6:30 PM PST on the left coast. If my calculations are correct everyone in NZ needs to join us at 2:30 PM Thursday and at 12:30 AM on Thursday morning for those in Sydney and eastern Oz. It will be an ungodly 3:30 AM in Israel and Helsinki, 2:30 AM in Paris, and Berlin, and 1:30 AM in London. Of course it is all worth the sleep deprivation.
In any event the fun stars HERE!!!!
