What do you mean “what happened” to it? You were there! We have pictures (remember the llama?) Of course, you were pretty wasted (and I don’t think the llama appreciated it and I know the goat has hurt feelings! You really should call…) 😛 ---

Is \*that \*what all the odd messages were that I found on my answering machine? I was trying to figure out what all that drunken-sounding braying and "baaa"ing was about… 🙂 ---

No, Hal, that was me. I got really drunk at the County Fair and I lost my wallet in the petting zoo and I thought I was calling their customer service line and that I had to speak in goat or donkey language to get them to understand me. I guess I called your number by mistake. Hmmmmmm. So that means that I left an expletives-laden tirade about…well, never mind. I’ll just have to hitchhike back to the fair and explain my behavior as best I can. 🙂 ---
