a short notice gathering in Boston anyone?

Dunno if I got a shot of Diane, but alas I don't think I did. Hmm, gonna see most of the pics when I pick 'em up this weekend.

Then there are extras eek I have to finish out a roll. This will involve wasting film around the neighborhood, so that everyone starts to think I'm a private investigator.

In my dreams. Yeah, I know.

I'm picturing jespah in her best Jespah the Spy hat and pinafore, with magnifying glass and camera :wink:

We do, btw, have pix of Diane from other gatherings....

Q, send me the whole pic, I promise not to post it.

yeah...sure you do

Too warm for a deerstalker!

I promise not to post it too. Hehe

Please promise to have another gathering before too much longer!! It was such a disappointment to have to leave before everyone arrived. Lola, we'll absolutely get to see each other in Texas this October. I'll be driving to Austin from Tucson.

Luckily, I missed the picture taking. I really hate every picture taken of me, so just think of me as the woman who was there in spirit.

As usual, a2kers are the best people around. Smart, funny, nice and interesting. Bobsmyth had great pictures of falcons and eagles. I was jealous that he gets to work with those beautiful creatures.

Jjorge almost had us fooled when he said he was Slappy. It wouldn't have fooled us for long, because he was far too 'normal' and gentlemanly--no chest rubbing, just good conversation.

Jespah and Mr. Jespah are each lovely and especially wonderful as a couple. Obviously in love.

Rosborne was new to me. I'm not terribly active on a2k, so guess I've missed him; however, he is another fantastic a2ker and I look forward to seeing him online. (As well as in Boston at another gathering).

Quinn and fishin' are, as usual, a couple who always look like they have just said, "I love you" to each other. It is a good feeling just being close to them.

Lovely siobahn, distinguished Merry Andrew and the others who came late, I hope to see more of you at the next gathering.

Slappy, whoever you are, you were missed. Next time, I hope. We are much more fun than the wall.

We certainly have to have a summer (weather permitting a summer in force) gathering for the Bostonians...or a few even so we enjoy that kind of thing if we do have it...hopefully Diane, you'll be able to join us at one, you would certainly be missed if you didnt.

So he DID really say it was me?

Or am I Jjorge?

Diane, thanks for thinking I'm so un-normal and not a gentleman. I mean, just because I walk around in public wearing a speedo, referring to everyone as "Ace" and "Woman," doesn't mean that.

Does it?

What would a true gentleman be other than a speedo wearin woman chasing ace???? Well, you could be a bi hunting speedo wearin woman chacing ace but, still..theres the basics there.

Actually, I think a man who wears a speedo deserves public execution.

so, a summer gathering....... outside please with a picnic type of thing? Or a BBQ. Or maybe even.....my house.....

Chez 'k?

Why is a speedo like a cheap hotel?

I dunno, Mistah Bones, do tell!

Oh oh!

uhoh indeed.

Chez 'k, maybem but I've no yard to speak of.

Come on SP tell 'em the answer....
(you didn't get cold flippers did you?)

Is that sweat on SealPoet's brow?

What a prolific bunch of posters!

Too bad the cat is out of the bag and everyone knows that plainoldme and siobhan are the same person. May change my name to international woman of mystery. Too long!! and I'm not very international.

Too bad Jerry wasn't there: doesn't seem fair he works for the Family Bligh or is it the Family LeGree? Anyway, sugar says if you go to the dictionary and look up the phrase, "idle rich," you'll see their photo.

Also, one complaint: we needed a round table or a private room to circulate in with before dinner drinks to allow us to talk to each and every person. Missed mr jespah and jjorge. Hardly spoke with lola and once the chatting really started, did not get to ask bob more raptor questions.

hnh? Plainoldme is siobhan!?!? I had no idea..... HAHA! None!
