It really was a nice gathering, and evidently attracted the attention of a saint, several more small nuns, and god knows what else.

The lobsters were well prepared, the salads fresh and delicious, the desert cakes a delight even for those who prefer to grumble. And there were several good rounds of singing, in between the rounds lamenting the bursting of the mortgage lending bubble, national politics, and the weather.

Nice to have Nancy King joining the gathering.

Thanks again, Mary, for hosting this end of summer soiree.

Spaw-

You have to be there to better appreciate the lobsters. Virtual lobster just doesn't cut it.

Cheerily,
