Yep. Of all the people in the photograph, she's the only one that
looks like she's ready to hurt someone or something...

Shall we play games?

Like, which one looks like the likely axe murderer?

Or which one is Bashful? (laugh)

Which one of these shouldn't be at a RADP meet?

The possibilities are endless. Doesn't mean they're desirable, but
they are endless.

(Really, I'm only having a small pour. It was very disappointingly
cold out there...)

Driselaine (but my spellings probably off).

Hey! I was there for 45 minutes before SWMBO called and I slinked off. I did
get to meet a lot of people and it was a distinct pleasure (mostly anyway).

Of course ;-) But thanks, Jack, for introducing me around. It's amazing how
you remember all the names and faces but I guess you've been doing this for
45 years ;-)

And there's an interesting story on how I met Bashful before the meet and
intuitively realized who it was (yes, I am psychic).

Hope to see everyone later in the week but I don't think we're braving the
MK today!

I saw, Paragon, Marta and Bruce, Denise (fudge anyone?) Kathryn,
Kenny, the ghost of Keane. Speak up people! Those who are
at home serving want to know!

Aha! You remember names. You should be the official keeper of the
minutes.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you left in the first three minutes.

As a matter of fact, I think Steve was the first person I
semi-recognized. (Hard to tell from some 2"x2" picture on the back of
some book that you only read in the bathroom...) ;-)

He was the one who introduced me to Kitty, Mr. Kitty and
Driselaine(?).

Is that all?

Psychic, psychotic...psychic, psychotic... Okay, maybe it's not a
typo...

>Hope to see everyone later in the week but I don't think we're braving the
>MK today!

I get to do an attraction today I've only done once before. It's
called the MCO Cell Lot...

MK, until Wishes last night, was a zoo. A cold, 48 degree zoo. And I
heard my first "I've had enough!" from parent to child, last night.
Welcome to the most Magical Place On Earth!

Let me also voice my displeasure on not firing those huge shells
during the finale of Wishes. The shells that are larger than the
Castle. The only thing they did was do some really cool castle
lighting tricks, but the sky was dark. :-(

But it's also the first time I've seen Wishes where the smoke from the
fireworks went down Main Street, so maybe it was a fallout problem.
Maybe that's why it was so cold, too.

We will expect a full report on that! I think you can get the
Bears game on the radio.
