Do you honestly think I would miss this Kodak moment? Actually it will
be digital but I will be taking a lot of pics.

Now DH will be drinking but I doubt much. He is really into poker and
for he doesn't believe in drinking and playing poker at the same time.
I don't mind as he just won $1500 a couple of days ago playing poker.
No drinking at all except for 1/2 the frozen alligator blue drink I
wanted but couldn't finish. This was a very nice dring too and I can't
find the recipe so I'm going to call the casino. A couple of the other
guys are the same way so it should be a rather semi-sober event which
means they will know what I serve. The gals might be going to a casino
while they play poker since that will go on until 4 or 5 in the morn.
I'll make sure the fondue is out before leaving them on their own
though. You are more than welcomed to come DH is really a very,
very congenial person and I will make sure you don't leave our home hungry!

We always do. Isn't that what life is all about.

PS. I read about your recent events and just wanted to say hang tough.
It will get better and even if it doesn't you owe it to yourself to
enjoy your life. You are a great person who doesn't deserve or need to
be brought down by those who don't fully appreciate your talents or
feelings. I've always said that funerals and weddings bring out the
worst in others and your case is so true. Take care of yourself and
don't let their negativity get to you.
