I tagged my son in for awhile and told him to take care of his mom while I went out to run some errands.

Thanks for including my post about "Share your views — The Idea of An SN Meetup in India Next Year".
I and @siggy47 are definitely excited to hold an SN meetup but I must admit that other stackers didn't react to it as excitedly as we did.
