I'd go, but this weekend will be my last one at home for a bit.

My R100 continues to languish...
 
Although Martin Luther King has the day off, I am working.

Sorry. But this is definitely a place worth visiting. Don't forget to go to the
waterfall.
 
I also would like to join you, but the wife says I have to be in Milpitas on Sunday morning for a multi birthday celebration at our fav place for dim sum.
