If I didn't have Tom show up so late, I'd have had him volunteer for Greg to go over there as Shane and perhaps the other young ones would be more likely to listen to him, being the more youthful mentally of the older folks and the 'cool uncle' to perhaps more than one of them.<br/><br/>As is though, I'd like to settle Tom in and converse with the others before he goes to the party. Also, Tom and Kate may have plans after the meeting.  ;D
