This evening at 9pm Central Daylight Time (OK, that's where I live; that's GMT -5), I propose we each raise a glass in honor of and gratitude to Fodor's for hosting our community and reuniting us. What say? <BR> <BR>Pam

Nice idea, Pam, but I'll be watching the debate. But on the other hand, it will be a lot more entertaining if I get looped, so maybe you are onto something.

Everyone's got to start their own thread on this, I see...

...and if a glass of wine doesn't help us get through the debate, then maybe we can start a "draft Danny" grass-roots effort!

Dear Bored, <BR> <BR>Maybe a glass of wine will help you relax a little. It sounds like just what you need.

I thought this was a fun idea, in the same vein as actually meeting Fodorites--a virtual toast to our patron, St. Danny. I forgot about the debate when I named a time; I'm planning to watch, too--now if I can avoid throwing anything at the TV. <BR> <BR>To Bored: I'm glad I could rouse you from your boredom with my post; what powers I have! Reminds me of Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book." Just makes you love human nature.

Dear Chill, <BR> <BR>Babe????? You should be posting on the Ponte Vecchio thread, shouldn't you?
