Hey y’all! I’ve had a nice Sunday. I went to church, went to a brunch after church where I had [watermelon gazpacho](http://soup.allrecipes.com/az/76987.asp) which is yum! I can’t wait to make some now. I’ve also had a nap and finished up that report that I couldn’t finish because I didn’t have some info I needed that took _five days_ to get. So, the report is late but it ain’t my fault, which is a good thing. I like it when I can blame others. 😃 **gt** almond stuffed olives sound like a good appetizer. Or, maybe one of the courses in one of your several course strange dinners. ---

Hullo. I’m back! I’m saving my tale of the boat trek for the MMP - do we have a designated starter yet? I’m way too tired to wade back thru this thread. That’s all I’ve got - gonna run downstairs and toss another load into the washer and/or dryer. Such is my life. Have I mentioned I’m tired? Well, I’m tired. And achy. And yes, I’ll take a little cheese with my whine… 😛 ---

I don’t think we have a thread starter yet, **FCM**. A couple of people have asked, but no one’s spoken up. I thought we’d had a volunteer for tomorrow, but whoever it was seems to be in hiding. Or suddenly shy. Or not a weekend poster. I’m in the middle of putting together pictures from our field trip two weeks ago. Keeps me from moving around too much. **swampy** , sounds like you had a nice day. I was thinking about making the olives a course in one of my weird dinners. I had a somewhat non-weird lunch a bit ago where they would have fit right in (hummus, pita, cucumber, something else I’m forgetting). Maybe next time. Of course, the last round of hummus is going to be lunch tomorrow. Maybe I’ll throw in a few olives there. Nothing terribly exciting going on here today… GT ---

Well, heck, if no one else is starting, I’ll do it. I’ll just rework an email I wrote earlier telling the tale of the trip. That’ll give me something to do this evening. Besides folding underwear. ---

Gahhh!!! I just previewed a longish post, with pictures from the block party, then managed to close the tab. Ok, so here’s the [whole album](http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a39/keylimepie630/block%20party%20and%20tiki/) . Peruse at your pleasure. Photbucket is being stupid and not letting pictures rotate properly today. But you’ll miss my clever patter, explaining some of the pictures. The short version is, that I think it was about 11 when Louie pulled out the bottle of Japanese whiskey, and that was after John the cop stopped handing out jello shots, and my wife determined that I was flirting with the cute lady from Texas, (Dawn). Well, she is cute, but she’s pregnant, and her husband was right there the whole time, AND my wife was 100 feet away. Nap-time again. ---

Folks, we have a [del]sucker[/del] volunteer for the MMP. All in favor of **FCM** starting the MMP (on time even!) say “Aye’” AYE!!! All those opposed (and shame on you!) say “Nay.” \*\* ::crickets::\*\* The “Ayes” have it. **FCM** shall be our official MMP hostess with the mostess. ---

Cool pics, **MBG**. Looks like everyone had fun. OK…so it’s not that late, but I’m feeling like it’s bedtime. So I think I’ll call Mom and then crawl into beddie bye. I’ll look forward to an **FCM** MMP… GT ---

**Swampy** , **AG** and I went to Lowe’s today to buy paint for our new apartment… I never had noticed it, but it’s burl-o-rama. I could set up a lawn chair and gaze for hours. I think that I’ll take a bigger interest in home improvement. ---

It’s good to be home. Time for steak, salad, and beer. Go **FCM** MMP!!! **MBG** looks like a cool party. **swampy** the highlight of some days is when someone else gets blamed. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dairy-wars-a-milky-morning-post/366691.md?page=22)
