Well, if you want to run for the group, I don't want to discourage you. I have no better claim to those dates than you do. The fact that it's a two-week stint, or that we'll be running more ED for a month afterward, or that I'm running PD after that, don't really enter into it.

I mentioned L*** because he expressed a hankerin' to play some more Dogs, but typically said he'd play either Dogs or PD, so I thought your proposed game would satisfy his Dogs desire.

I doubt we're going to get J*** to express a preference (and I'm going to be pissed if he begs off from playing on the 23rd and 30th because we're not playing ED, but I'll burn that bridge as exigencies require).

That leaves us either to out-polite each other, or roshambo for it...
