Yesterday, my dog chewed up my “Streetwise Manhattan” map (how’s _that_ for geeky?), and I was some pissed. He knew, too; he crawled around on his belly for 10 minutes. Now I have to buy a new one. Not that they’re expensive, but still. ---

Modest-Scmodest! Euty is just so hardcore, that it doesn’t faze him. Not that I’m brown-nosing a moderator, or anything. ---

I have waited patiently since about 2:30 this afternoon for an interesting thread that I hadn’t recently replied to or for someone to post a response to something I said in a good thread, but now I’m done. I’m just too tired to keep waiting. So, since I don’t want to start a thread and I can barely stay awake, I decided to at least post where my best Doper friends will see it. Because I can, and I’m getting excited about the fest. Even though what I have to say has no relevence. So here it goes: I now have 1000 posts. Thank you. 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 ---

I will humbly accept all credit for **Gorgon Heap** ’s 1000th post 😃 Judging by its content, my influence is fairly obvious 😉 ---

Hoo yeah! Kum Gang San is my favorite Korean place. I’ll be there for the Thursday supper fer sure. Anybody have any good ideas about activities for the stroller contingent? The Sprout will be about 9 mos., BabyTee should be about 15 mos., and I’m guessing BabyDoors will be about 6-7 mos. Any other little ones coming? ---

Baby Doors will be five months. Facetiously, I’d say a trip to FAO Schwartz, but maybe a museum would be good? Robin ---

Question: Is there anyone that matt\_mcl and I could carpool with from Montreal to get back and forth to the fest? I am MORE than willing to kick in money for gas.
