So far, Lori, it's just us. Let's definitely meet! Of this whole list, is anyone else there going? Did I miss something? Aw, come on, you guys....come play in May! A Museum Trade Show! Isn't that the coolest form of play-while-you-work?...(well, maybe an archeological dig would be awesome)...but this, to me, is totally decadent. I just may wear lipstick! P.S. Because beer is fattening and looks disgusting. Nope. I've really never had a beer. Gonna die that way, too. Other liquor, yes. Beer? Forget about it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lori Allen" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 5:09 PM Subject: To e or not to "E" > I questioned the spelling, but spell check liked the "e".
