And as for reservations at Marie Callendars, please RSVP with **cadolphin** at [dolphin3456@hotmail.com](mailto:dolphin3456@hotmail.com) and weā€™ll make the reservations. The site was simply so you could see (1) where it is and (2) whatā€™s available. Nametags are being made, so if the Mrs./SO/Chew Toy is coming, please let us know and also let us know how they would care to be referred to on the nametag. ---

**Esprix** , did you decide to bring your chew toy or leave your options open? If heā€™s coming, does he want ā€œchew toyā€, ā€œboi toiā€ or something else on his nametag? Speaking of nametagsā€¦ oh mighty **Maharishi Esprix** , the mysticism and spiritual knowledge for successful nametagging does not come naturally to me, your humble servant. Since you said you are way to busy this LAdope to make the best nametags in all the land, do you have any words of wisdom to make the light shine on some part of the mysteries of this ancient art?
