B has been building her wardrobe for the day around her tattoo. I know at least a few of you will be disappointed to learn that my suggestion of “wear straps” (i.e. and nothing else) was rejected. My guess, right now, is that she’ll be wearing about as much as she wore for Halloween. Not The Black Dress, though. It has too much back for her right shoulder area. ---

Good thing. If you’d showed up THIS Saturday I’d have made you paint the foyer. Be warned. ---

Well I figure you’d be sending out instructions or something… didn’t you do that for the last one? ('course it could have been an extra bright star in the sky that I followed… my memory ain’t so good) ---

Listen for the peals of childish laughter. OK, if you guys stop whining I’ll send out directions next week, okay? ---

But can you look at our archaeology finds and give an opinion? ---

Oh I can look at them, and I can give an opinion, but you might not want it. I’ve really only had a limited amount of _real_ archaeology. It will be interesting to look your stuff over though and to see where you found it etc. If I remember about it I will bring my old clothes and we can do some more digging. ---

**JC** , have you sent out the invites yet, because I haven’t received mine (unless it was the one with “XXX porn!!!” in the subject line, in which case I erased it 'cause I already have plenty, but it’s nice of you to offer). Just curious, 'cause I’d hate to not be able to show up for the party-to-end-all-parties. BTW, I was planning on bringing my GF, and **Keith Berry** expressed interest in showing up although he hasn’t posted in this thread. ---

Yep, they all went out. I’ll send the e-vite again. Pay attention this time! Yours is out there! And now it is again. ---
