In the event of possible automotive mischance, like no car, or something, could we get a vague feel for just where in Havre de Grace you are Weird Dave? (Turn left at Fairly Odd, go two blocks and then right on Downright Strange, down to the end and then right on Totally Weird, last igloo on the left?) ## Tris “It was a woman drove me to drink, and I didn’t even have the decency to thank her.” ~ W.C.

It’s not an igloo. We’re too far south. It’s a yurt. _sigh_ Why must I always be the one to point these things out? 😃 ---

I _may_ be able to make this one!! Not sure what the fam is doing, but depending on the day/time y’all pick, I just might be able to beebop down from the Jersey Shore for a bit! Of course, now that I say that, nobody else will want to come. 😃 Tripler Not a definite “yes”, but consider me interested. ---

Pardon me while I whine and moan. It’s a federal, and state holiday. It’s my regular day off, by the way, as well. So guess what. I have to work. Futz. Have a great time, everyone, perhaps I will get to see the yurt some other time. ## Tris “I saw guns that shot swords in the hands of young children.” ~ Bob Dylan ~ ---

Ok, a bump cuz we’re a week away. Good news is, **Bluesman** is now reported as coming. Bad news is, that means **Lucretia** and I will have to be circumspect. Everyone can expect e-mail directions and contact # within a few days. Big plus: Y’all will get to meet my new kitty! ---

Oh, and **Tris** , I know you’re not coming, but the part of Havre de Grace I live in is called “Aberdeen”. 😉 ---

I have the car. Repeat, I have the car. Anyone else who wants a ride, lemme know. BTW, I will not have the beast but the SUV, so unless someone wants to ride in the back without a seat, I can only fit three people. ---
