Yes, for those yak steaks.
They’re not gnu, but just as good as gnu.

Marcia and Todd are expert at conducting departure ceremonies. Here they perform one prior to their leaving for dinner. When I was at their house this afternoon they performed one for me in immediate advance of my departure to the land of smiles. On my way up Ballard Street heading for the International Airport and Car Wash, passing the galleon in the bay and the Tiki Hut, on the left I passed some pasture land with a large herd of cows. However, upon more close observation it was a group of cow suited people throwing clumps of butter at each other. My limo driver told me it was the StelBel family reunion which obviously had gotten out of hand. Well……that’s life on Ballard Street. I’ll be gone at least until December, so have fun y’all.

So glad to see you. Thanks so much for letting us know you’re off again. Have a wonderful trip, and let us know about your adventures when you return. Thanks for the picture of the StelBel family reunion. I can see it now! I’ll try to calm Stel down when she realizes she’s missed you again. Glad you had your departure ceremony. Marcia and Todd are quite expert at it. :)

Yea!!! I love to hear how widespread and diverse the residents of Ballard Street are! Makes me feel so cosmopolitan !
Ooh, ooh, that’s what I’ll have. I’ll switch from margaritas to cosmopolitans. Join us, Downundergirl? I got snickers.

You realize you’ve always known;

The finest place to go … is Home!

Essex!
I wrote a long post … my first in over 24 hours….
right behind yours … trying to catch you as you sped away.
But my browser shut down unexpectedly….
a Firefox crash!
All my windows closed, and my post was lost!
So now my pleas for you to stop by the Tiki for one last “parting ceremony” fall on far-away ears…
but happy trails, my friend.
Far better to miss someone going off to known adventures than
worry about someone who disappeared without a trace…
Thank you for that…
and don’t forget us.

Bev — I’ll join you… but no cosmos for me….
I’m more in the mood for a nasty dark ale .. or oooh a Guinness…. that’ll do.

Glad everybody liked the ribs Wednesday night…
it was the Monkey’s secret barbecue rub, and his smoker… and my sauce, for those who ate ’em sauced….
He gets the best yak meat straight from Turdmunkestan.
And his rub is great…
Hey!
His barbecue rub.
Sheesh!

Anyway I was just starting my comics rounds last night, when I got a looooooooong phone call…
it’s been “one of those days” ever since…
but all is well now and I’m back!
Gotta sleep some before morning…. and my salon is booked up tomorrow into the evening.. but that’s a GOOD thing.
Heading to the Tiki now…. pipe me aboard, Red?
