Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Are your bookings down or up?


We charge. This last quarter Oct - Dec has been really good for us. I have 
been worried about the economy catching up with us so I took in more work 
than I wanted too this Dec... I am happily surprised but am waiting for the 
proverbially shoe to drop. Am waiting for calls about cancellations from 
schools.Our bookings were down last December and last winter and sping by 
about 20%, but this summer was good as well.
