a short notice gathering in Boston anyone?

All of the above was TRUE! ...albeit a little misleading:

-Ok, ok, so there were OTHER guys there.
-and I don't 'usually' drink TWO WHOLE GLASSES of wine.
- and I forgot my house key and couldn't reach my step-dtr or my friend (who have copies) so I slept in my car in my driveway last night! (true)




jjorge's Diary
**************

6-21-03

well Dear diary, I'm more than pleased...
last night we had the Boston gala
.....down at Vinny T's.

*********

When I arrived I made them all briefly happy
How'd I do that? ...why I told 'em I was Slappy.

*********

Nice to see Diane, she's such a peach,
She had to leave early , ain't life a ...

*********

Bob Smith, as bright-eyed as his beloved hawks and falcons...
and a YD guy.

*********

I sat near our friend and benefactress Jespah...tireless toiler in the A2K vineyard...(and a great hugger!) had a nice chat with 'Mr Jespah' too.

*********
finally met Merry Andrew, a distinguished-looking avuncular fellow.
Didn't get a chance to talk w him too much but, guess what? ...another YD guy!

*********

Mass Ca....er... Quinn was there. Just as nice as she is online...
and speaking of online, (just a little dishin') she walked in with ....fishin'.

*********

Very pleased to meet rosborne. One of those bright IT guys.
Hmmm ...anyone ever add up all the social workers and IT people in A2K?

*********


Bulletin! bulletin!... Diary get this:
I finally met Sealpoet!... and he wasn't eating fish*

*********

SP charmed and impressed our pretty Hungarian waitress with a few words in Magyr

*********

Oops! shame on ME!
I didn't meet Siobahn or Mrs SP!

*********

Far down the table Sugar's arms were a-wavin'
talkin' animated Bostonese
(not New York or New Haven)

*********

and speaking of cute, littlek was there,
she'd charm the birds from the trees
and the hawks from air,
Smart too...no doubt about that,

then she had to go, said:
' To shoot the cat.'

*********

and then there was Lola, also purty and smart
(but, probably I have the darn horse before the cart,
Smart should come first, and purty after that,
with people like us -ie. sophisticats)

*********

If I should ever get a hysterical paralysis
You know where I'll go for my (you know) ...analysis

*********





*At least I THINK he wasn't.

Hey, JJ - great stuff! What's a YD guy?

Very nice jjorge....... we're both clinical social workers and have lots of experiences in common. I got lots of hugs from bobsmyth (once recorded by the camera) and he was hugging all the girls, also recorded for display later when I get home and can send the photos to little k for posting.

So nice to see Jespah again and her very fun hubby. Then Rosborne......cute, very cute, girls, chase him down, fine potential here......then Quinn and fishin, very nice looking sitting there together, and fishin, I must confess didn't look anything as I had expected. I suppose I was misled by his avatar..........he's not walrus-like in discernable way, but he's a handsome specimen, Merry Andrew, who unfortunately I didn't get to talk to.....Seal Poet, who kept taking off his glasses when his photo was taken and Mrs. Seal Poet who gets around on other sites besides a2k (as does, apparently eBeth, but don't tell anyone) and Siobahn, very pretty with beautiful red lips and hugged often by bobsymth. Little k came and went. Cute and fun as usual. And of all things, I missed Diane (I'll send a PM, Diane, so sorry to have missed you this time, but I had an excellent excuse.) Sugar came a little later. And she's young and very pretty and full of energy, smart.

I hope I didn't leave anyone out. If I did, it's probably the person to whom I owe the money for my wine and dinner. Please let me know who you are. I need to pay. I just cannot live with this guilt.

I saw the man talking to the wall as well. I asked him if he were Slappy and the twinkle in his eye, said it all. Slappy, you cad! We'll never forgive you for passing up the chance to meet us and going out with that other woman instead. I hope you were totally frustrated in your efforts last night.

I've got a problem with my email here in the hotel. I'll send the photos by Monday. Sorry for the delay.

I'm sad to have missed miss diane too.

I explained Bobsmyth much the way jj did - he has a spark in his eye as sharp as any of his birds.

Thanks lil k

here's your explanation:

jjorge...YOURE CAR!!!??? Well, hope its not a compact (shrug) what can ya do? Thats terrible but, better than the bench with the guy talking to the building I suppose.

lovely bits of information from everyone...this way we can almost fill in what we might have missed...although that hugging going on across the table...ladies..you need ahug..I think theres a guy thats happy to hug away...thats really nice.

Chez Seal...in September...woo hoo...that sounds grand!!!
If we ever get some sun around here the fishin man had a great suggestion...Waterworks again here in Quincy...thats a thought as well for a seaside summer affair of some sort....keep it in mind peeps.

Ahh Lola...cant wait to see the pics but, can wait until you can get connected...suppose we dont have much choice. Humm..rosborne waskind enough to pass around his digital camera as well...I dont think he edited though...those could be interesting.

yep...Mazda Protege' ...I could have gone to a motel but I was too cheap

ohman

so sorry there fella

well...think of it this way..could have been worse...could have been a VW or tonight in the rain even....
hope that helps in some small way.

Quinn,

Small potatoes.
It wasn't an ordeal or anything. My Protege seat reclines to almost flat. I had some extra clothing in the car. I slept real well, actually.
Felt a little silly that's all.

BTW I liked Vinny T's

jjorge -- thanks for that link. I didn't know about it. As for having to sleep in your car, it sure beats those pup tents up at Camp Drum (now Fort Drum), NY, doesn't it?

[Aside to those of you who didn't make it to the get-together -- jjorge looks exactly like his avatar suggests.]

beats them foxholes too!

pssst! MA don't tell them that I have 'squash rot' ok?

Summah time summah time sum sum summah time ....

If we do a summah pahk thingie may I suggest bringin' at least one frisbee??? Plus the large pumpkin (jjorge, I thought you slept in it; silly me). And Bootserella. And fishin' poles (get yer mind outta the gutter). And and and ....

Bootserella?? .....as in boozerella?

So... because of all the hype about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (got yours yet?) I decied that for cheap entertainment last night we'd rent Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

The ghost in the bathroom... Moaning Myrtle, is a dead ringer for Quinn... Whodathunkit?

There are some really nice posts here. I was left with a very warm feeling. The intro was alittle shaky. We had a brand new waitress. She was nervous and compounded by spilling a drink down my back. She was horrified and stumbled over apologies. I started laughing and told her we're all people and mistakes are made. Also told her I was not even a little offended and for her not to beat herself up about it. She was from Romania and was very cheerful.

I'll work on the photos again now, but I'm not sure I'll get it done before leaving for the airport.

Wishing you a safe journey home. And one more hug.

REALLY?! Well, now Im gonna have to rent it and find out....the ghost in the bathroom indeed, of course it wouldnt be something fabulous...blah.

I can't even check! I loaned the DVD to a friend so her kids could watch it....but I think you may be right.

However, Quinn's not a whiner.

I could whine if I tried really hard I suppose....nah...too much effort to it.
