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.
