I'm sure Punki will understand my tardiness in my contribution to the trip report when I explain that it was primarily caused by a certain individual in New Jersey.

How could I possibly compete with Punki's fantastic review of both days? About the only thing she left out was Jackie's (Shadow's wife) tennis match of trying to figure out whether auh2o or I would make a better mate for her daughter. If I recall correctly, she determined that auh2o is the more ideal match...which was precisely her worry. But she thought I was such a "nice boy." 'Course, she also wasn't around to hear my earlier quip on the boat.

Of course, what might have added to her concern was the immediate...um...reaction of auh2o to TravelWeary's daughter's appearence at the lunch. Boyfriend in tow or not, it was quite amusing to watch the drool slowly slip down his chin. Incidentally, I'm beginning to wonder if he should change his handle from auh2o to c2h6 (that's ethanol, for the uninitiated) after the quantity of imbibing I saw. For such a skinny guy, he can really put 'em away. I lost count at 27. Or so.

Punki, I must thank you and Joe for a truly spectacular day on the salt water of Elliot Bay. And for all of your compliments. And the dinner at Tillicum Village. And, most importantly, the AS FC upgrade certificates!Wow...you did so much, and asked for so little in return.

DTTB and newself, the mimosas were perfect that morning. And I'm so glad you brought the muffins...they made such great bribing material!

Auh2o, I may make fun of you, but I can't help but thank you for providing me with more material than Dan Quayle provided Jay Leno.

With people like that around here, it has become clear that...we are one sick bunch!
