I really do need to have a talk with Gabe about all of this, there just never seems to be a good time.
I'd go with a night after 11:00 pm. Hey, go surprise him one night with a homemade dinner at work for his dinner break! Part of your history with Gabe is that you keep talking/asking and he doesn't respond. So, in good ole DB fashion, TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT! Just a thought. Btw, GO PACK!!!!!
