**Grace** , do you want to stop by here and follow me down to Zy’s house. I can be late, no biggie. Jim ---

Are you implying that I’m going to be late? If you are, you’re probably right. 😉 I do have a general idea on how to get to Zyada’s house. I know I went 121 past 35. I know there’s a right turn, another right, a left, a right turn, and then stop short of hitting the house involved. It’s the names of the streets that I’m having problems with. Besides I’ll have my navigator (aka Hootee) with me. She can get me anywhere. If you really want to be helpful, we can hook up with you somewhere and follow you. I’m easy. ---

If Hootee can help you get to the Benigans at Grapevine Mills Mall where we had dinner the day of the Hawkwood thing, I can meet you there and you can follow me. I’m about 5 minutes away, so you can call when you are getting close and I’ll run over there. Jim ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Grace \* > \*\*I’m easy. \*\* Do you have any idea how long Jim’s been waiting to hear those very words? As for the party. Anything I could cook, you would eat at your own risk. In a further effort to lengthen your lives, how about I bring beer, chips and money? Sound ok? ---

I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it. Maybe some other time. I think I might be able to talk my wife into letting me host a gathering when I get my stock money. ---

I don’t think that I should have any problem attending. I may be late as I have pick up my roommate at the airport. She is comming home after six weeks in Guatemala (and that damned cat Ophelia finally leaves). What should I bring? Is anyone bringing bratwurst? Or is there any other suggestions? ---

Ag - that sounds good, although I bought a big, honking bag of tortilla chips yesterday, so you might want to bring some other kind of chip. OTOH, we might be able to go through two bags of chips. ---

☹ My pool seems to be out of commision. The vacuum cleaner is not working and I was going to clean the pool up by hand. However, the problem may be in the main pump and I don’t know if the pool is actually usable. I was going to ask the pool guy, who was supposed to come today, but he didn’t show up :mad: The party will go on as planned, I just don’t think y’all will be able to swim. ---

Tell the truth, Zy. Did the pool guy not show up, or did you just keep him busy? Boom chick um wicky wicky pow. ---

Looks like we might go swimming after all! ☹ I assume that the dopefest is still on and we’re just moving it indoors if it continues to rain. Zyada? ---

Fate is trying to make a mockery of my Plans! Ptooey! I spit at Fate! Of course we’re having the party! Mom’s going to bring an extra griddle and we’ll cook the burgers inside if it’s still raining when it gets that time. Humph! ---

The sky is brightening, the rain is stopping, the clouds are breaking up, the radar show no more headed this way. We might not have to move this inside after all. **Zy** , do I need to bring things like charcoal, grill utensils? Jim ---

I had a great time y’all. Someone left their Ralph Lauren Polo sunglasses at my place, but I don’t quite recognize them. Anyone want to claim them? ---

Hers or mine? I know I’ll never forget the sight of her straddling that camel and flashing her boobs at us. Grace dear, now that I have signed back on to the board, you will have to behave. I thought I was rather subdued yesterday, and you just wait until next time we get together. I am leaving now for the mall to find me a low-cut t-shirt for Hawkwood…Angus, Angus where forth art thou my Scotish kilted no panties man?? Kisses good too! ---

What’s your schedule looking like?
