Dogster, I'm looking forward to your lollipop pink as mine is midnight black (beautiful combination). Thursdaysd, if you can show up the last week of October/very first portion of November there's a standing invite to be bridesmaid numero uno- service to be performed at Thamel House (by Michelle or Pujan) AFTER considerable consumption of Rockshee (or however you spell it). I'll be there with bells on. . . any interest?

Is Nov 8 early enough, kimmyejones? Can't make it any earlier - no award seats available and I need to try some of cicerone's suggestions for HK.

kimmy, kimmy, kimmy! Big smooch. I'm sewing frantically.

I note that my kind reply to 2G has been deleted. I can't think why. Indeed 2g seems to have deleted him/herself.

I await Amy's friendly E-mail warning Mr. Dogster, once again, about personal abuse.

Having reread the proposal section of Kinda Kathmandu it occurs to me I'm probably neither extrovert enough, not exotic enough, for the Courtyard...

Yes, you are thursday. If ever there was a traveler more perfectly suited to the Courtyard, it is YOU! Kimmy is the lunatic exception... lol lol lol. [and I mean that in the best possible way, kimmy... smooch, loverrrr]

*siiigghhhh* Alas, I'm lucky to make it over for a week. . but I'll be in AUS next February for most of the month if we can connect there? Thursday, there is no other alternative to THE COURYARD and Michelle's warm heart - don't stray. . .Dogster, yes very good, I need attention and my lunacy can be attributed to the fact I was never breast fed. . hmm, can I say that? Ooops, slip and fall. . . don't leave me at the alter without the bride. . or, um? XO

Hmmm, dogster busy sewing pink frou frou? Quite an image. Is that what you were up to in the frozen north? Or....

I'm saddened to see that it's not just dogster's response to 2G that has gone to Fodors' bottomless bit bucket, but also his welcome put-down of the egregious Mark_Lester on the Indian railway challenge. Wonder which thin-skinned person complained about that?

I'm definitely considering the Courtyard, but my 'net access here is so ridiculously slow (1.0 Mbps!!!) any action will have to wait until I get home.

Ahhh, I'm glad you saw that, thursday. It was in defence of you - and all us single travelers. I got a warning letter, telling me I was naughty 'cos of that. Apparently it's O.K. for him to insult you, but not if I insult him, a double standard I still wonder at. I suspect our editors have a bad case of keeness.

You'll go to the Courtyard. It's too obvious a choice. The scene of Dogster's nuptuals will become a kind of shrine.

Kimmy; I was never breast-fed either. Just one more thing we have in common.

Yes, I did appreciate it dogster, even if it was ephemeral.

I trust there will be video of the nuptials waiting for me at the Courtyard if I get there too late to attend?

No worries, thursdaysd, it will be viral on YouTube by the time you get there.

I was never breast-fed because my mother's milk curdled at the sight of me. That's why she called me Dogster.
