Ms Bets, Italian? Oh...a "sleep with the fish" dance maybe? :-?

I like a "little Italian" from time to time. :-d

Kal you lost me somewhere between bells polishing and sleeping with fishes... Can fishes hear the bells ringing?

Or are you getting ready for bell ringing competition? In this case what the fishes have to do with it?

Or God forbid Mrs Kal sent you to sleep with fishes :)

F2,
No, but due to the last few cool nights while standing around outside in shorts and t-shirt looking at Mars, it appears I'm beginning to store my nuts for the Winter!!! :-"

Faina, Kal's obviously still feeling the residual effects of the drugs administered during his recent knee surgery. Either that or he's gone completely wacko. It's OK, Kal--we still love ya!

Marilyn,
Has a final date been decided yet? If so, what is it? I'm hoping we can make it, but if not, maybe this will give me the incentive to organize a Seattle area get together.
Best wishes,
Paula

Betsy, it's the heat - see his yesterday's post at 10.14.

TTT

Depending on the date..I'd like to try and make it! We're off for 11 days in the Pacific NW the second half of September..personally, I find October in SF to be the finest month of all.Where is the "central"location?

Kal darling~you've been staring at mars
amidst the heat..it's not cold enough for the nuts to hit storage. Grey Davis is still Governor, they've not yet found the weapons of mass destruction and the EPA has gone to hell in a handbasket. Tomorrow is the Old Vine Zin tasting. Let us raise our glasses to eating, drinking and being merry!(I'll let you know the line up of winners soon after).

or is that making Mary?

PamSF, email me directly so I can put you on the list for the GTG. It is likely to be in Oct. Central location = SF Marina. By the way all, we now have about 25 people!

:`( Aw, geez, you guys, I'm so jealous of you SF'ers as here I sit, way out here on the other coast!!!((U)) Hmmm...:-? ((I)) maybe you could hook up a live closed circuit TV feed so I can vicariously be a part of it???((B))((D));)

margot, somewhere on another thread a suggestion was made for a NYC GT. If someone just jumps in as I did, it's not difficult! If you have it in late Oct or early Nov, I will be in NYC and delighted to attend!

If the GTG goes well and you decide to do another, I'll be in SF at the end of Oct! Come cheer me on in the Golden Gate/Presidio 10 mile run!

"Run Melissa, Run"!!!!
We'll try and be there to cheer on my second favorite runner!

Bets and F2, WHO? ME? >:D<

Margot-Don't worry about SF, sweetie...Just make sure NYC is all cleaned up for May's "half century" celebration!
