Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Melin and I will be taking the boys to one of the museums, and then I’ll leave Melin at Marie’s to dine with y’all, since I have to take Eldest Son to a 6:30 call for the play he is in this weekend and next. Melin will be posting on Opal’s board looking for somebody who might give her a ride home afterwards.

She says to say she isn’t sure yet what she’s going to wear. Whoever is making dinner reservations, remember we’ve established a tradition that all reservations are in the name of the “Cecil Adams party.”

I wish I could attend, but I’m still in Texas (San Antonio, to be exact).

Have a great time!

Hey, all. I regret that I can’t attend after all. My friend’s mom died, and I have to be there for her on Saturday; grief buffet and all that. Sorry. I’m too sad to be eloquent. {{{{{{{Dopers}}}}}}

{{{Rilch}}} I’m sorry about your friend’s mom. We’ll miss you.
