Good advice! I will try that aproach with the pricier places.

Did you get the table -t?

Got it, but don't know what to open it with. However, I can't get to that e-mail account while I'm at work, so I was gonna bother you about it later. If you want to e me the program name, i'll be able to start entering stuff when I get home tonight.

I made it in Access.

Then on Sunday we all congregated at the Park Street Grill for a delicious kosher brunch

Park East Grill, actually.

P-C had his suitcase, which they wouldn't allow inside, so we took it in turns to sit outside and guard his terrorist luggage

Hee hee hee.

then, um, I accidentally absconded with her cellphone.

How much do I love that you used the word "absconded"?

Kristin, you rock for getting your pictures up so quickly! I was dumb and didn't take any. :-(

Kristin does rock, and you non-picture-taking people are welcome to my doubles. I'm sure you're very anxious to see how the Kiki picture turned out.

Oh, good, then I can work on it on the laptop.

Did we defer the city choosing vote until next week or is it on Wednesday? I seem to recall deferring but my memory has been tricking me lately.

It was an altogether excellent weekend, and I wish it had lasted ten times as long.

It was! Brunch was great, and everything anyone has said about Nilly ever is true. Except she's not so tiny. She is, for instance, taller than my mother, who's a great little woman, and shrinking rapidly. But Nilly is delightful company, and very enthusiastic about everything she's seen and done here.

And for those who haven't seen it, the Broadway production of The Lion King is just amazing. Best live show I've ever seen, hands down. The costuming and choreography is unbelievable. They've augmented the movie too; there are some additional songs and they've fleshed out some plot points.

Ah, I thought I might have that wrong.

I'm sure you're very anxious to see how the Kiki picture turned out.

Kiki vs. the Statue of Liberty! KIKI SMASH! (And I'd be extremely grateful for doubles, thank you.)

everything anyone has said about Nilly ever is true.

It's sort of amazing. She's really one of the kindest, most gracious people I've ever met, and yeah, SO enthusiastic!

Except she's not so tiny.

Hil is winner and still champion!

Yes, Hil is closest to the earth. Someone go tell Tim.

Yes. The selection date was pushed back until Sept. 8th.
