Yeah, we don’t need to leave until 10 or until whenever the cookout festivities are over. I will stay as long as l need to, I’m in no rush. Midnight goes until like 2 am or something, so no worries. We’d love to have you, RT! If that means sticking around until later, that is totally OK with me 
Afterall, we went to Midnight last weekend, and we will probably go the next weekend (well the weekend after Opal gets back from Chicago). It’s all good! 
Hey, I’m an old fart, too. Let’s you and me go to my place and hang out and drink prune juice when all the young’uns head to the Goth Club. (My place is two minutes from birdgirl’s. Can I talk Mrs Teasdale into coming, too? How is she feeling these days?
Mmmm. Vodka and prune juice-get regular and slammed at the same time! 
Many apologies for the lateitude of this response-it looks as though I will get back home in time for a southerly trek-now to figure out what I can do in the kitchen to bring.
GREAT!!! Your room is available if you need it; and it’s right next to the bathroom which will be really handy after all that prune juice!
I’ll be in DC that weekend but I can’t make it to the gala on that afternoon. Most of the weekend is dedicated to a good friend’s bachelor party. We’re shooting pool and drinking beer on Friday night, playing on the Mall on Saturday day including a visit to the Spy Museum, and playing poker Saturday night.
I should have a little spare time before my flight out on Sunday, though, in case Ed the Head is still around? Well, are ya punk? In case I don’t see you then best of luck in your quest to become the first Doper World Champion swimmer and have a blast in Europe!
Oh, and what is DC Midnight?
DC Midnight is a goth dance club event 
Every Saturday at a bar called The Meeting Place in DC.
Sounds great - count me in!
Mrs. Teasdale is doing quite well these days, since her iron levels are still nicely pumped up, at least for a few more weeks. I’m trying to talk her into coming along on Saturday; I’ll let you know how it goes.
Hmmm… Spy museum, party, spy museum, party. Damn, now I don’t know what to do. I guess I could show up at the party as a spy.
I will be around on Sunday, but I’ll be packing. I still have to figure out what to take. I guess right up there should be my speedos.
You’ll want to be sure not to forget those speedos. In fact to be extra sure, maybe you should wear them tonight! Yeah!
Dear Mr. The Head,
Good luck in Europe. Remember to shower.
Dan
Thanks for the get together guys, even though I know it was just and excuse to meet Opal’s new man. Anita I would have worn the Speedos except they had already been packed. I’ve tried to pack as much stuff as possible, I think I have too much crap to take.
I think someone let the bugs out though, I’ve got a ton of bite on me. Unless someone was bitting me when I wasn’t looking!
Thanks for coming to the cookout, everyone, especially you guys who drove great distances (danceswithcats, RTFirefly)! It was great to see everyone and I had an awesome time. We’ll miss you, Ed, and maybe we can all get together for a Doper dinner or something when you get back.
By the way, I doubt it was an excuse to meet Opal’s new man, because I don’t think she had even met him yet when I decided to have this thing!
Who else was taking pictures?
Man, I miss you guys.
Nice butt…Kim.
