First, let me apologize to everybody for not showing up and not saying anything. Second, \*\* Yeticus Rex\*\*, I apologize for not calling. I plead a nasty chest cold that knocked me down on Thursday and did not let me back up until Sunday. Looked like I missed a lot of fun, When is the next one? ---

It was so good the memory makes me want to type in lolcat-speak. 😉 I took my leftovers home to the Princess, who enjoyed the chicken and split the waffle with the Diva. Both girls gave the waffle a thumbs-up. If I ever take them to see a movie at the El Capitan, I now have a place to take them to eat afterward. ---
