I will not vouch for her pelt, but she does have poky things on her face. Not necessarily teeth. ---

Hi! How are you, Anita? Will you be all Virginian at Kim? ---

I will if you’ll tell me what that means! ---

Why should she be all Virginian at me? 😕 ---

Kim = my friend from Canada. ---

OK, that answers RT’s question, but now I’m trying to figure out how to represent the Commonwealth of Virginia to your Canadian coyote chick friend Kim. Would it be OK if I just say “Y’all” a few times? Or do I need to ask the waitress for grits? ---

Don’t forget to bring guns. Virginians do guns WAY better than Marylanders. ---

Dude. You live in the hills and are from Chicago. I would think you’ll do better with guns than our little Anita. ---

She’s not mean, though. You’re always teasing. ---

Let me know what the final date is and I’ll do my best - theoretically the 22nd is good for me. ---

Not so good for Kim, as she flies out on the 22nd. I’m thinking between now and the 21st. ---

Don’t _think_ **Intaglio** and I can make it, but we’ll see what we can do, based upon the date selected. So _hurrrrrry_ and set a place/date! 😉 ---

**JC** is from a different part of Virginia. Here in urban NoVa I think he’d find more folks advocating stricter gun legislation. Either Friday is good for me. When a time and place is decided upon, if other Virginia MADs (without guns) need a ride, let me know. ---

This Friday or Saturday will probably work best for us. However, if it’s Friday, there’s no Dave, and there will probably be Matthew. Of course, I could find our sitter, she’s a sweet girl -but extracts payment anally. ---

This Friday is bad for me, and Tuesdays and Thursdays are bad for me every week. Other than that, I’m up for it! ---

**Ginger** , have you picked a date yet? I’m still good on either Friday, but it might be too late to pull together something for tomorrow. Besides, if we do it Saturday, or next Friday, **Opal** might be able to join us!
