No bodhran's for this boy. I want people to continue to think of me as civilized.

We had a great time. It was great to see old friends and make sdome new friends as well. Once they get home I'd like to hear from CET on his thoughts.

I was fading fast by midnight but almost managed to stick with it to the end. I counted it as training for Mystic in two weeks.

Thanks to Bat Goddess and Curmudgeon for opening their home and letting us in. Also, thanks to Bat Goddess for helping me pry the tin of bourbon balls out of Jeri's hands....

By the way, on Saturday I bought a cooler for this party. On Sunday morning I put about a dozen bottles of beer and three bottles of water into it. On the way I drank one of the bottles of water. Once we arrived I placed the cooler on the porch next to a washtub full of beer on ice. I kept taking beer out of that cooler all Sunday evening.

This is the tricky part. This morning I opened that cooler prior to loading it into the car. There were easily two dozen bottles of beer and several cans of soda in there! And the wash tub was still full. I know I saw people drinking beer, as well as other beverages, all night long. Somewhere along the line the cooler and the washtub were blessed and the beer kept multiplying. I now have more beer than I started with!

As I said, Great Party!
