I hesitated at first to do this, but in many respects Mudcat has become a community of friends who are like a cyber family. The second of my three daughters (I haven't won an argument in 24 years), Elizabeth is marrying Nathen Schovey tomorrow. I would like to invite you all to a cyber reception, let's sing the songs and drink the vile black stuff!!!! But my family will be there so no spuds and thongs, OK???? I like this young man, and best of all he is pliable. With a little work and some lye soap I think we can make something of him. OK, Nate, let's start with a haircut.......................LOL. Give the lad a proper Mudcat welcome, I am very happy to call him "Son", and now let's get on with the hooley.
