**O** h my god – I shoulda come back online last night before going to bed. **P** erhaps I could have made some progress in my flirtation with the lovely **watcher** , instead of leaving him alone as an audience to **Q** ED and Sperfur. **R** ats! Another opportunity missed. **S** leep overtook me, though – at least my dreams were sweetly filled with my fellow Quaker. ---

**Twicks** I did miss you last night - it was getting way too steamy around here. **Sperfur** and **Q.E.D.** have certainly picked up where **Swampbear** and **Homebrew** left off. Imagine how deep it would get if all four were going at it at the same time here on the ol’ a-thread. Yikes! ---

**U** nfortunate to miss such an opportunity – **v** ery exhausting week at work. I went up early to try to finish the last 30 pages in my book and didn’t come close to making it. **W** uss that I am, I was asleep by 10:30. ---

**X** -rated banter aside – how come you’re willing to go to Missouri for a dopefest but not to Philly?☹ ---

**Y** ou know, it just might be the pool. Or maybe the skinnydipping. No on second thought it’s definitely not the skinnydipping. But seriously, although I certainly wouldn’t rule out attending a local 'fest, it’s way easier to go to an imaginary one in Missouri, especially when one is drunk on all the shameless flirtation going on. Road trip! 😉 ---
