Falling down in New Jersey?

I was officially told today that my training for my new postion (the sideways sort of promotion I mentioned before) will be in Parsippany (sp?) NJ after all. Not only that, it will start December 6th and last for two weeks. Right now is quarter end, I'm dead tired and I'll post more about it later - I don't really have much more than that for details just now anyhow. But I'm told it's only an hour or so away from NY, and I'm not sure how far from MA, but I know at least Maedbh7 is bus-savvy. :) Anyone want to hang out and keep a homesick filker company somewhere in that general area (doesn't actually have to be IN NJ)on the weekend of December 11th? (It could be worse, much worse, for timing, but right now I'm feeling sorry for myself for having to be away from ACat for the two weeks for a lousy training course. I was SO hoping it would be here after all.)
