I'm hoping that a couple maybes turn into
yeses, and then I'll burn a few hotel points.

What I have is Shipps, Hafflys, you and me as yeses, and possibles as Sean, Shawn and xxCarol... Do you have any other maybes...?

You didn't answer the question of any others...

I don't have any other maybes; thought that
was implied if not explicit.

Burton was just telling me how much more fun the more recent picnics
have been, being held in people's homes so that one benefits from things
like breakfast together, and evenings spent in talk... I think we'll
just be playing this bit by ear... :) The general impression I got was
that they'd likely be just coming from their home, though... Bloomfield
is within their normal range, apparently, as they've gone to the
Holloway House there for special occasions...

Okay, then, just patching up cracks one might
be able to wiggle out of if one were tired
beyond one's years.

Boston for a few days. The group was put
together by my friend the opera expert; I
e-mailed her with glee about having heard a
concert at the Semperoper, where many of
Wagner's and R. Strauss's works were premiered
(including such fan favorites as Tannhauser and
Rosenkavelier). She sent back an envious note.

Made the right impression on her, I see... :)

Pretty much.

I'm within half a mile of Beethoven's birthplace
as I write this, where Lilli got drunk on
insufficient provocation being right around the
corner from it.

How sad... so close and yet so far... That was on the possibly stronger than normal red wine you referred to in another message...?

Actually, we walked past it without stopping.

Ah... that's not so bad then... Is it open to visitors....?

[chuckle] You know, I didn't even bother to check.

Turns out she'd washed down a medication
with it that specifically said that alcohol
was not to be used with it, so likely her
fault rather than the wine's.

Oh, dear... I've a med or two that aren't supposed to be used with
alcohol, but, while I mostly ignore that (being a not regular tippler),
I've not used alcohol as the liquid for taking them... ;) Is she
mending her ways there....? ;)

I suggested taking the medication at breakfast,
when there would be less chance of using alcohol.
She's so far been good about that.

OK, just checking... :)

As time grows closer, and we know who are likely showing up, I could
probably encourage them to take advantage of Lydia's king-size bed....
or at least to keep it as a possibility... :)
