Kei - I had to get a flight home.  all my tests were done anyway.  Somethings come up.  Sorry - I left you some voicemails...

Shinji - there's been an emergency at home - I have to go.  can you look in on the cats for me?  I left you a spare to the penthouse if the doorman isnt there to let you in.

To everyone coming to the cookie exchange - it's been bumped to Christmas Eve.  Something has come up and my mother changed the date to be sure.

Flights leaving - sorry to rush out like this
