Sorry, but I am saving my Spidey Underoos for that someone special. I dunno, maybe _Pimpin’ Cupid_ will hook me up! (wink wink nudge nudge) * * * “It is now proved beyond doubt that smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.” ---

The Row has some hotels about $100 a night, so probably cheaper to fetch a cab to the BeachComber.\*\* ## Handy - please send me the motel info. Also - is anyone interested in going to the Aquarium? They have new exhibits and I would love to see them. I am a redhead, you see, and I do not tempt. I insist. -Cristi ---

I might be able to talk the SO into spending a weekend in Monterrey. As long as we can schedule in some ocean kayaking or something (brrrr!), he,ll be up for the trip. PCW - I’d be happy to arrive in costume, as long as I wouldn’t be the only one! ---
