 ML>> I always thought it was umbrellas that kept the heffalumps away.
 NB>> I'd forgotten that... must be time to drag out my Winnie-the-Pooh...  
 ML> Not sure it was WtP. I knew that from an old joke someplace.
 
Only place I've heard of heffalumps (horrible heffalumps, heffable
horrilumps [g]) is from WtP, with Piglet screaming it...  But, I can see
that getting into jokes thereafter... 

 NB>> I do use the umbrella to keep the rain away, but it's only occasionally
 NB>> successful...  ;)
 ML> I seldom get decent results from umbrellas.
 
It works best as a way to keep rain off of one... assuming one has it
with one when it is needed...  :)

 ML>>> We may have a CRISPY cauliflower crust in our future.
 NB>>> The oven's there and working... :)   Sounds like a good experiment. 
 ML>> It will be a fun experiment, und Sie vill like it, Hafflys!
 NB>> Just don't tell Ruth which it is until she tastes it... ;)
 ML> Heh, heh, they'll have figured it out.

Yeah... she already has... ;)   So now she's expecting it.  :)
 
 ML> Now, though, it turns out I have to have to be in New

 ML> have to figure out where to stay between the 12th and the
 ML> 15th. I will probably be able to dump a suitcase of clothes

Plans do have a way of morphing...  ;)  You could probably stay here, if
you wished...  :)
 
 NB>>> Will do.  :)
 ML>> Any word? Not to pressure them or anything.
 NB>> Not yet...  but that's my fault for not getting back to them to set up
 NB>> a time for lunch, hopefully...  (and I'm notoriously bad at pressuring,
 NB>> anyway... [g]) 
 ML> Burt e-mailed saying that dinner or something a day either
 ML> before or after the picnic should be doable.

Finally connected with Burt today... we're going to go check out the
second Tandoor location later this month... He sounded more positive
about possibly making it to part of the picnic... said the drive isn't
going to be an issue... and the loft apartment seemed potentially
doable.  We aren't at commitment yet, but not ruling it out either.  As
to the day or so before/after the picnic, from what I got from them
before, they have prior commitments on August 15th, August 16th, and
21-22nd, so that does rule out the day before, but not the 23rd or 24th.
We have the cabin 16th thru the 23rd....

 NB>> Been to the Dinosaur once... it was ok... didn't really know what or
 NB>> how to order, so that might have been part of it...  ;)  After hearing
 NB>> Burt rave about Bad to the Bone, I'd like to go there with them, and
 NB>> see how it is, with some expert guidance...  :)
 ML> All in the interests of science!

But of course... :)
