Ok, I’m back, too. Man, are we _ever_ going to be board with day-to-day life when this story comes to an end. I, for one, will actually have to do some work around here. Refresh finger is all rested up and ready for another day. Let’s get this show on the road, fellow busybodies and assorted sleuths! ---

I’m here, too. You know, one of my fiancee’s coworkers did the same thing - and he works at a church! He just stopped coming to work. They called his house, his wife, nothing. Never heard from any of them again… Maybe MC is with him…hmmm. I don’t think he was a trucker, though. Regardless, I’m ready for an update! ---

Do you think **auntie em** thought this up as one of those “bonding experiences” for members? You know, the kind where your boss takes all of you up into the wilderness for some awful weekend where you have to learn to get along and rely on each other so it makes your work relationship better? [sub]If you don’t kill each other first?[/sub] Naw, on second thought…you all are having to much FUN for that to be true! ---

I, on the other hand slept late, so I could avoid some of the waiting and anticipation. Time for a new plan, I guess. Good morning everyone. I’ve just put a pot of coffee on. You’re all welcome to a cup. Hmmm, looking at the view count, maybe I should put on a second pot. Or an urn or two. Hi **Stranger!**. ---
