We have already had our first out of resturant experience. Folks gathered here at the house for a couple of hours of good old fashioned cant-stop-laughing. Off to the record store they went.
I can't find my notebook case.. Where would that have gone?

I've been neglectful of posting the last few days. I've been so busy.
Talula is a terrific host, and I've wanted for nothing. It has been a delight putting faces to the names. For me, it has been long overdue.
Everyone has been terrific. I do kinda feel like the new kid at school though. I don't have the history or experiences of Kristoff, Paolo, River, talula, Jesus, or any of the others that have arrived. I'm kinda scared to jump in, for fear of putting my foot in my mouth, or some other less comfortable orifice. They are all very welcoming and terrific though. Thanks guys.
Finally got to meet janekane, Danya, notifwhen, Uncle Flo. Who am I forgetting? Anyhow, despite my poor memory everyone has been terrific. Just an awesome bunch of people.
And food? I have never eaten so much or so well. I'm already fat, but on my flight back, they may have to send me air freight. If I continue to eat this good, I may have to walk home just to burn the calories off.
I'm so thankful to be here. If you haven't been, you gotta come.
Thanks for inviting me. I need to make this pilgrimage every year. Highly recommended!
What I do not recommend is sleeping in your car while you wait for your flight out. So I could catch my flight on time, I had to take a ferry the night before. I thought, "No big deal." I was wrong. Sore back, legs tangled up in the steering column. I am not a kid anymore, and should have known better. Ah, well, as janekane says, there are no mistakes, only learning experiences.
Coming to MoM, was certainly NOT a mistake, but has been a wonderful learning experience.
I'm promised more good things to come. I can hardly wait. I don't know how they'll top Kristoff's steaks, or Paolo's cauliflower salad... so good... so full.
Just roll me home when it's over.

Glad you liked dinner. I don't think we had much left over.
The "Goats in Villages" white wine was disappointing, though.
And how is it I always end up doing the dishes?!

Sorry. My ride was leaving the station. I'd have happily washed or dried dishes for you. I ended up leaving sooner than I'd expected.
Make sure I don't dodge my responsibility next time. I'm not allergic to dish soap.

Seriously, though...
It's because I'm usually the one who ends up leaving last, and I'm the one who usually destroys the Sister's kitchen!

Thanks for washing everything. I wiped what wasn't dry. everything is put away now. Kitchen looks "normal" again. Did you get "dish pan hands?"

My blood sugar reading was down to 101, even with eating that ear of corn.
No, my hands are fine! And my butt will be, too, now that we went and got some decent toilet paper to replace with hotel stuff - "The John Wayne Brand" that's rough and tough and don't take no shit off of nobody!
I hope someone got George rescued, too!

I had a great time at today's wine and cheese party, graciously hosted by Jesus and Paolo. Today, just like last night, I left early so as not to risk my ongoing pelvic pain recovery. But I absolutely did not want to leave! I met really sweet new folks and got to see old friends for the first time in two years. The food yesterday and today was terrific. Thanks to those who have made all this possible.

We're glad you were here for as long as you were, Danya. Always great to see you!
We had a nice field trip today to Crystal Cave - The EA Flying Circus 7 stories below ground! Then it was wine and cheese, and then off to the ol' Hog Trough to pig out.
I think a good time was had by all.

So what did y'all do in those, caves?
If I did show up,
and I were not melted in your heat
I would be talking to myself in a corner.
My attempts to be social getting me banned.
Nice to hear about these conventions.

Perhaps it's in your car? I am certain I didn't bring it here.

Moi came to chat tonight saying he has 'inside information' of what REALLY goes on at a MOM. According to Moi, it's all public nudity, orgasmic sex and drunkenness. I went to three Western MOMS and never saw any of that.
Maybe the Midwest Moms are more wild - rotflmfao
Somehow I can't see Jesus, River and Cainanite running around naked

I did not.
I only inquired about the great circle.

Should I be offended? I've been here since Wednesday, and not one naked body or orgy. Just food, company, food, conversation, food, sightseeing, and of course snacks.
Believe me, NO-ONE wants to see me naked. I don't even want to see me naked. Maybe they are just trying to be polite, and shield me from it.
There is still a few days to go, so I'll withhold judgement until then.
