I could do a DopeFest in either December or February. However, I would really rather prefer January. I’m in a tizzy since I’ve been invited to **four** social events this month. **Four** of them! This is the most popular I’ve ever been. All I can say is… blackmail works. 😃

January would be nice for me. I’d be 21 by then and, since they’re changing my schedule soon, I’d get off work on Friday nights early enough to grab Gunny and run down to Houston and spend the morning there, too. I want to go to the aquarium I heard about in Galveston that has the penguins in it.

Hey **Ringo** , how’re ya doin’?

It seems like we are looking at something inside the Loop, huh? Well, lead on, MacDuff; I’ll happily tag along.

Well, I’d love to meet my, by now, long-time contemporary **racinchikki** , as well as **Gunny** , and it’d be great to meet **Lucretia** and renew acquaintance with the delightful **KAndre**.

If we can nail down our social butterfly **Siegfried** , and keeping in mind the NYC MegaDopeFest, I’d say we can have a meet in January.

I’ve looked at my calendar, and the following dates aren’t good for me: Dec 6, Dec 11, Dec 18, Dec 19, Dec 24, and Dec 25. And that’s good news, because it’s means I’m available any weekend in December and January.
