We will wait patiently while Louise is setting flags, pushing values, reviewing development standards and naming conventions.* So, while we wait, can we figure out where everyone is?

Louisev: Somewhere, Germany (Time zone?)
Mainewriter:  Portland, Maine (EDT)
Neatfreak:  Indianapolis, Indiana (EDT)
DavidinHartford:  Hartford (duh), Connecticut (EDT)
Bigheart:  Somewhere, Holland (Time zone?)

Louise is on Central European Time, 6 hours ahead of EDT. So right now it is 5:11 pm for her. SHE SHOULD BE GETTING OUT OF WORK ANY MINUTE NOW!

Totally off topic, Neatfreak...since you are in Indianapolis, may I suggest a visit to the International Honor Society of Nursing Headquarters at 550 West North Street (down the street from the hospital and across the street from the Madame Walker Theater). Up on the second floor, in the library, are 17 mahogany "pillars of knowledge" which my husband made. They are very beautiful. Just a little FYI.

Fear not,  Ennis is a big strong guy.   Most likely he'll escape and overtake the kidnappers, then drag them under his arms to the sheriffs dept.!   LOL

Are they kidnappers or abductors? I wonder what the technical difference between kidnapping and abduction is, anyway....Ellery, enlighten us, please?

Sounds like a field trip to me, Leslie!

Lucise is in Edmonton and I believe Fred said that where he is in Idaho is on Pacific Daylight Time.

JennyC is near SF, also PDT. Louise is actually in Saarland, Germany.

LoveEmBoys (Monica) is in Colorado (MDT), and notBastet (Kelly) is in North Carolina (EDT). Helen is in the UK, but will be traveling for quite a few weeks in the US, leaving in a week or two.

Really, Leslie, you must be bored.

BTW, neatfreak, I am in North Carolina. same time zone as Leslie and David

Edited to add: Oops, I see Leslie already covered that for me.
