        Yes, Panic has set in.. I could not sleep.  Why, you ask?  Sandy
said one little thing..  "Cliff Dear, where we going to put all these
PEOPLE?"
        I have never had this kind of a turn out for a small GT.  Any of you
like 'Sardines'?   That is what it may be like if every one who said they
are coming....COMES!    
        I may have to set up a table in the garage for the cake... No way
we will all fit in one room.  'sweat !#$!#$!'
        And some are even coming with their better half (that's good)!
Use the DIAL soap guys!
        
        Hmmmmm , maybe a table set up in the back yard might work....

                Gulp!!!!   Clif-

 Seeme that this drifter was caught in the act of cooking and eating a
seagull. (Another protected species). Brought before the judge, he
was fined $500. Pleading for mercy because of his indegency, the judge
reduced his fine to $50, for which he thanked the judge. The judge then,
contemplatively, asked, "By the way, what did the gull taste like? I'm just
curious." After a moment of consideration, the drifter said, "Well, I think
it was a bit better than a bald eagle, but not quite as good as a spotted
owl."

        We have some friends from Britian who used to visit every
year.  They'd always come in early March because once the
temperature got into the 80's it was too hot even to swim!
        I haven't written them since we had those 120+ degree days. 
Maybe today...

        Rod in a musical!  Ha!  And as a clown, no less.  (The name
of the piece isn't Pagliacci, is it?  Please say it isn't
Pagliacci.)
        Maybe the GT should start at Gallery X for Rod's stage
debut, then proceed to Cliff and Sandy's.

        I LOVE IT!   But it scares the hell out'of me.   Should be a lot of
fun... Every one will get to know everyone else, as there won't be any place
to go.

        Let's see... I will have to get plastic forks for the cake , paper
plates... and plastic cups for the soda.   I have always used real plates
before, but this time there won't be enough.....     ((GRIN))

        Anyone else coming?

Well, I was planning to bring several dozen homeless after the show.  Would
that be okay?  How many bathrooms do you have and what about shower
facilities?  Ever smell the raw stench of caked urine?

Awaiting you reply as "P" day approaches, I remain,

                        Respectivley,
                          Rod

I do not remember the name of the play but there will be live music and I
have several parts, one of which is to come out and steal an accordian.

Rehearsal is Sunday the 22nd at 4 p.m.

If anyone would like to attend I will post the time when I find out.  Bring
a can of food to leave by the door. 

Peter couldn't have picked a better spot for his gallery.

There are many more General Motors automobiles on the road than any other
and that explains why you saw so many.  Was there a particular auto that you
saw broken down that is in the minority but had more problems than others?

I don't know if I said that right.  Let's see....one would expect to see
more GM cars broken down because there are more but one would expect to see
very few BMW's because they are a minority.  I don't know the figures of
what type of automobiles are the most plentiful other than GM.  I suppose
that Ford would be second with Chrysler ranking third then Toyota and Datsun
and perhaps AMC.

Were the GM cars that you saw more like Chevette's and the other smaller
ones or were they like Caddies and Buicks.

In any case it doesn't really matter I suppose, I'm just making
conversation.
