I could still make it to the movie tomorrow - but it might get somewhat late (6:30 at best) - wasn't sure if that would work for you.


Google automatically interprets this text and asks me if I still want to mark Tuesday, 6:30 pm on my calendar as the following event:

movie but it might get...
Tue Jan 20, 2009 6:30pm
