Thanks Helena... 10 am East Coast US is ok for West Coast US, but 9 am
for me, which is not copacetic on a work day as I have to be in my
office by 9a (it would be fine on the weekends). Which is why I
suggested 8 am my time, which would be as early as 6 am for West Coast
US, and as late as 11 pm Japan. Yes, a tad late for Japan, but
workable. With 17 time zones to account for, this is like a water
balloon... push in one place, and it pops out in another.
I do have considerably more leeway on the weekends, actually from
Fri-Sun, so keep that in mind as you all ponder your availability.
