Bloody hell!  This was what she wrote before starting her world trek
two weeks ago:

Her arrival here, after your bloody 7 am dive and 19 hrs of flight, will
be about 12 hours till the Choo-Choo-mini-NEDfest officially starts! :-)
That was why I had said,

That's only if Mark Bevelhimer send HIS dancin' White Russian.

Steve and Donna Weigold will arrive at about the same 10 pm after their
400-mile trek from Hamilton, Ohio.  They are not taking any chances that
we'll be short of "White Russians" to put THEM to bed, so they are
bringing bottles of wine from their own Chateau Weigold <vintage
Friday? <G>>, to put them to bed before the NEDfest begins the next
morning.  Sue and I will probably have to put ourselves to bed with a
"Black Russian". <BG>

There'll only be SHOWERS afterwards, but no drink.  :^))

Hope you did it gently and didn't break any of her Tim Tams.  :o>

That should be DynoMite!

We'll miss you Old Bastard!  :-)  We'll just have to listen to your Tall
Tales second hand from Viv.
