I’m going to have to bow out. I have a broken arm, courtesy of an attack in Dupont last Sunday, so I’m staying home for the foreseeable future. ---

Stacy Donaldson says that the weather will be partly sunny and warm on Sunday. The **Spritle** s will be there. Probably around noon thirty or so, depending on when the littlest doper wakes up from his nap. (sounds a bit like a spoof band name, don’t it? Sort of Ruttles.) ---

**Montfort** and I are unfortunely sick. We’re spending most of the time in bed…😉 Actually, not because we want too. Have fun without us, I’m sure you all will.🙂 ---

Sorry, friends, but I’m not gonna make it. Much as I’d like to see you all (and meet Pucette and the Spritles), it’s a sit-out-on-the-deck, put-my-feet-up sort of day, and the first one I’ve had free on a nice day this year. So I’m gonna do that. And maybe sneak in a bike ride. But have a good time, and I’ll lift a beer to y’all! ---

Anyone know the address? I’m getting ready to head out by metro. If not, I’ll ask when I get there. ---

To those who attended: Thank you all for a wonderful afternoon. Mrs. Spritle and I had a great time. Dave, thanks for playing with baby Spritle. 🙂 I mailed a picture to the e-mail address in you profile. To those who did not attend: We had a great time. I didn’t mail a picture to you. Spritle ---
