OK on the time change. Since I have today off, **moi** and I might actually be on time! Shocking, I know. Cheers, **tc** ---

_gasp_ I think I’ll faint dead away! 😉 Getting ready to head out the door now, trying to be there a little early. (So no one needs to call me!) See y’all in a few. ---

Awesome time, as usual. Total exhaustion, as usual. I still can’t believe the bill came to that much! Thanks again, guys, for an awesome dinner. I’ll figure some place out for the dinner in two weeks. ---

Well, I survived my drive home and it appears I am the first to make it. Tonight was certainly an experience I’m still trying to wrap my brain upon the realization that every course of my meal contained Guiness in some form 😃 . Anyway, as requested here’s is [**tdc** and **moi** sharing a tender moment.](http://homepage.mac.com/wphill/PhotoAlbum1.html) Oh yeah…before **TruePisces** can say it…“I need a tramp to call my own” 😉 ---

I beat you. I beat you! I’m surprised you made it home that quickly, though. Traffic must have been light. I was saving the tramp for later. 😉 ---

I would’ve posted sooner but I needed to check some other things (stinking no good Flyers. How could they blow that lead?) I had a good time chatting with \*\*DocCathode, danceswithcats, \*\* & **tdc**. To everyone else, it was wonderful to see you smiling faces again. Especially the girls. 😉 Next time guys, we start charging at the door to make some money back. I still can’t believe people thought we were bouncers. I couldn’t tackle a turtle. ---

And a good time was had by…ME! And **moi** as well. Thanks gals and guys for a great night out. Also, a hottub update…IT"S ALIVE!!! I came home to a filled and apprarantly operational hottub. So, gaming in the hottub might just have to happen. Cheers and goodnight, **tdc** ---

Great to see y’all and to meet **DocCathod**. I had a wonderful time and look forward to the next one. Whatcha gonna do to top Fado (and the best and cutest waitress ev-ah :)), **TP**? ---

I think we should just go back to Fado if we can get that waitress again. 🙂 The only thing I ask is that if you decide to show my cellphone off to her again, **moi** ,you make her put her number into it 😉 ---

After talking to **Meros** , I’m going to have to support another episode at Fado. And I _will_ get off work for it, too. ---

Well, if you guys want another week at Fado, I’ll call them early the week before with the numbers again. I mean, with as much money as we put their way, I don’t think they’d deny having us in again! 😃 ---

It’s on 15th and Locust I think. I really should remember since I just had lunch there yesterday. The waitress thing is kind of hard to explain, all I can say is that in addition to being very competant she was also one of the custest waitresses I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. **Moi** might be able to explain it all better though. I probably don’t need to tell you **TP** but count me in 😃 ---

Yeah, it’s 15th & Locust. On the corner with the elevator from the Patco line. Too bad we didn’t see her at lunch yesterday, we could have gotten her name and asked for her again. 😉 Just to keep a running total, so far we have: **TP Verrain tdc**(is**moi** coming too?) **DocCathode twickster Meros** So that’s either 6 or 7. Looks like it’s going to be just as much fun as the last one. Though I think I’m passing on the $7 vodka shot this time. 😃 ---

**Cleophus** , you slipped in while I wasn’t looking! Make that 7 or 8 and your name is added to the end of the list.
