> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Olentzero \* > \*\*I’ll be there the 17th, though! \*\* And, I probably **won’t** be there on the 17th. It’s not a Federal holiday, but it’s a Montfort holiday: I’m getting on a plane that evening, and I’ll probably leave work early to finish packing. I don’t need to tell you where I’m going, lest I induce **Olentzero** into speaking Swedish again. 😛 ---

Sqrl’s off too…is anyone coming? Let me know because if not, I won’t walk up that way. ---

Since no one responded, I guess we’ll cancel. Seems I’m the only one working in DC today. Hope to see you all again next week. ---

What has happened to the DC Lunch Bunch? I know last week, most of you were off because of the holiday, but no one except Sqrl and me showed up today either. I believe Montfort was off, packing lots of clothes to take with him so he and Anniz could “change” often. But what about the rest of you…Pldennison? Olentzero? Any one still interested in Friday lunches? ---

And, I should be able to make it to the DC Lunch Bunch this week. Unless work drags me up to New Jersey for the weekend (ugh). I should have pictures developed by then, too… ---

I don’t remember where I ended up on the 17th. It may have slipped my mind or I didn’t think anything was on. I can make up for it on the 1st, though - who’s up? Besides, if **Montfort** can go, I wanna see all the pix. ---

My pictures are currently being developed at the Ritz Camera on Connecticut and L Street, NW. I’ll be picking them up when I leave work in an hour. And, they’ll be at the DC Lunch Bunch on Friday. As well as Falcon’s party the following weekend. ---

Damn! Of course the one day when I can’t make it, you are all coming. I have a luncheon for work but Sqrl will be there. Have fun. ---

Yes, this is the post where I _could_ spill the beans about what **Anniz** is getting for Christmas. But I won’t. Despite all appearances I’m too nice a guy to do something like that. I am not, however, above making sure this post pops up with a little red flag and attracts **Anniz** ’ attention just for the heck of it. 😃 As for the lunch - it was pretty decent - we invaded a restaurant with food bought elsewhere and angered the management. We don’t care, we’re wild and young and we can quote whole Monty Python skits from memory. (Ni! Ni! Hee hee hee hee…) We saw plenty of good photos from **Montfort** ’s trip to Sweden and laid plans for **Anniz** ’s sojourn here on American shores. it was also suggested that the Fried Chicken Head from Oregon be elected President and solve this crisis once and for all. Then **RTF** and **PLD** and **Montfort** started talking football fantasy leagues so **SqrlCub** went off to his own happy little “Good Ship Lollipop” world for a while. 1:00 rolled around so we all reluctantly headed back to our points of origin. We eagerly await the next installment of “DC Lunch Bunch”, whenever it may be! ---

If I were you, I’d double-check with someone else the directions to my Come Meet Anniz party, just in case I happen to get you lost. 🙂 ---

Are you going to post the pics on a website since I couldn’t make lunch? I wanna see. ---

I wanna see. \*\* Eventually, I’ll scan them in, but I’m very lazy about that. You can see, if you haven’t already, my [digital camera pictures](http://chanceofrain.com/pix/sweden/). If you’re coming to Falc’s party next weekend, I’ll bring them there, too. ---
