I concur with the above statement regarding the changes, and why I
suggested previously in my email that we do have meetings on one other
day.  Thursdays would be the least problematic for me, but I would
suggest one change.  We meet on the 2nd Tuesday and 4th Thursday (for
option 2).  I'm only being selfish on that request because it makes it
so I can attend *almost* every Thursday.
