I can probably make dinner and drinks. And of course, the orgy. Jim ---

Chef should cook, he did offer and all 😉 I might cancel a date if I’m guaranteed something gourmet like a grilled hotdog or cheeseburger! -SS 😃 ---

Get Mr. Grace to help you. Just tell him “I’m having an orgy over here while you are gone, we need to get this place straightened up.” I’m sure he’ll pitch right in. Jim ---

Bring the date with you! I’ll make little signs and when y’all leave we can hold up the “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” signs to let you know how she rated. ---

Erm, Grace, does your cell number start with 972 or 214? I loaded your number and Aglarond’s into my phone on Saturday, but I don’t know which is which. ---

Oh, Grace, I have a news article that you might be interested in. Go to [this site](http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ktvt/20001024/lo) and look at the article named: **Company proposes skyscraper near Dallas that would be world’s tallest**. (The link is too long to go to directly). Most of my kids live in The Colony. Won’t this be nice to have in your backyard. Jim ---

> [@](#): > > On the home front, the Maharishi building would tower over the Dallas skyline’s tallest building \_ Bank of America Plaza, which is 920 feet tall. I repelled that building this Spring. Thats correct, SkySlash went up on that building and came down the side of it on a rope. My company built the neon and lighting structures and part of my project management training was getting to “experience” this building. Trust me…you have never seen Dallas until you have seen it while you are standing on edge of the tallest manmade structure in Texas with no safety lines. I’ll have to dig up those pictures and bring em to the next get together. Words dont describe the view. -SS ---

Mrs. Chef is working late that night, so Chef Jr. and I can make it to dinner. (I tried to lure Grace over to my place so I could have her all to myself; I can tell you that hysterical laughter sounds really weird over a cell phone.) 😉 The only thing is, I really shouldn’t keep him out too late, because it’s a school night. I’d invite everyone over to my place and cook but our house is an even bigger mess than Grace’s apparently is. So is there any tentative where and when being put forth here yet? Oh, and SkySlash said: > [@](#): > > \*\*I repelled that building (the Bank of America Plaza) this Spring. \*\* Wow, Sky, I usually repel people one at a time. You did a whole building full of them _all at once?_ Or did you mean you _rappelled_ the building? ---

Oh, yes there would have been words. They would have gone something like **"OOOOHHHH MMMMMYYYYYYYYYY FFFFF** \*\*\*\ ***IIINNNGGG GGGGOOOODDDDD, GGETTT MMMEEE DOOOWNNN FRROOMMM HHHEEEERREEE!!!"** or something like that. Jim ---

Hee hee. I just watched the Muppet Show. As for rappelling, I rapelled Guadalupe Peak one time, althought it was a completely 90 degree plummet. Have you considered that mayber your shoes are sucking away your ability to spell? I’ve gotta go now. Alf just came on.
