Brain all with the fuzzy

Item a) my father is trying to give up his smoking habit of 40+ years. Sister, doofus brother-in-law & the grandkids are visiting them this weekend. It's a good weekend not to be able to attend an early birthday celebration.

Item b) am I doing anything on, say, the 12thish of September? My brain says maybe but I can't find any record.

I hope not, because I think there may just now be a Dunedin trip scheduled for that weekend

Item c) All of you in Chch are planning on coming to the Gameathon this weekend, are't you? :)
