LOL...I would be given at least a week's worth of time out, here, if I did that. ;^)
Trust me, I cleaned it up a LOT and omitted reams of what I would have liked to have posted.
I guess the only enjoyment I get out of this is comparable to a sadist watching a car crash. But the protagonists are so boring. Btw, the New York Times had a discussion about Dubonnet last week - the Queen's favorite drink. Apparently, American Dubonnet is inferior but steps are being taken to improve it. She drinks Dubonnet & gin. I thought it might be interesting to mix me up some!
