left for a new job back in Texas in May.  Now I find myself in the middle 
of the desert and there is a KaTe-mas party in Minnesota.  As soon as I 
find out my travel schedule for the next two weeks, I may opt to host a 
KaTeMas party here in El Paso.  I am sure it will turn out to be an 
introduction for most people here, but, that is what I have been doing 
for the past 10 years since I *discovered* KaTe, introducing my friends 
to her.  If someone else, in Dallas for example, takes up the challenge 
to host a KaTeMas, I may fly up there for the event.  Either way, I will 
let y'all know if I decide to host.

Good luck in Minnesota.  Wish I could be there...
