Well, I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly chastise the many Northern California members of this list who were noticeably absent at this fine shindig. Those of us in attendance enjoyed a fine party and gracious hospitality courtesy of Cindy. There was fab punch, great drinks, and a knockout cheese dip that had me begging for more all night and begging for mercy the next day.

I also learned a valuable lesson: Don't play with cats drunk. Norm, aka "Psycho Kitty", reminded me that while he may be declawed, he's still a mean son of a bitch. The teeth dug so deep into my palm that the blood pooling in my hand created an creepy stigmata effect. But thanks to the calming effects of rum, I felt almost no pain. Is there nothing rum can't do?

It looks pretty good now, but it's badly infected and it still hurts like hell to drive a stick shift. Should be better in a day or two, by which time I will have finalized my plans for Norm's "accidental" demise.

Anyway- great party.
