And I have to say, despite the ill omens and the mocking fate the cosmos threw at us, we had fun.  Just three of us...but it was fun nonetheless.  Nothing to add to our ongoing chronicle here, but a lovely one-shot.So, I've had...6 or 7 ounces of whiskey....and its time to go to bed.  Stay tuned...I'll try to update this weekend.  Its off to sleep now...before I realize how stupid I sound slightly inebriated.Good night.~Fune</blockquote>
