The Lounge

[cklaurence]

Yes, Em. Abigail, who is one year older than Emily, who is the married daughter.

Abby lives down here on Miami Beach. The lease on her apartment ended just before she was leaving for the Berkshires (where she spent the summer working as a unit head in a camp, with her older brother, Josh). After school ended (she's a teacher), she dumped all her stuff here, and took off. I think she's had a friend of hers looking for a place for her. She starts work tomorrow (she'll be getting in here sometime late tonight). Zack, my baby, is driving with her. He went up to New Jersey about a week ago to spend some time with Emily and Craig. Abby picked him up on her way down here. I am so excited to see them!!

[Emeritus]

Abigail. I love that name. I hate the Hollywoodesque names that they give girls nowadays.

[cklaurence]

I gave my girls good, solid, old-fashioned names. Abigail is Hebrew--although no one knows it, Emily is after my favorite old poet, Emily Dickinson. Actually, all of my children have simple, strong names (or so I think). The boys are Joshua and Zachary.

Looks like you and I are holding this place up again today. I thought we'd worked passed that, but it appears not...

[Emeritus]

It was going pretty good yesterday. I guess that it was a busy hump day for the working people. I'm out for the evening myself. As usual when I don't have a dinner date, I've forgotten to eat again. Good night.

[cklaurence]

Well there you go. I just checked to see who is online, and it seems that I'm holding this place open all by myself! Well, I'm tired, even though it's pretty early--so I'll pack it up for the night.

Nice visiting with you, as always, Em. I will see you tomorrow on and off. Have a bunch of errands to run. High school reunion is Friday, and we'll be leaving fairly early in the a.m. that day, off to Orlando (I HATE Orlando) for all the fun (I hope). Talk to you tomorrow...

[Baglady]

Hmmm, looks like I missed everyone again tonight.... I'll chalk it up to timing...

[peddlefest]

CK you always have to be careful of lurkers. ---- Lurk-Lurk

[dredwak]

i love orlando...and kissimmee...some of my fondest childhood memories...

[Emeritus]

Good morning, Swiss!

[Emeritus]

Bartender, a round for everybody on my account. And see what the band will have.

[cklaurence]

Hey Em. Very generous of you, lol. I guess everyone wants to help keep the cost down on your bar bill, .

[cklaurence]

dred is around here somewhere (I checked the Board Index), but no one else can be seen.

[dredwak]

im in and out...went sailing today...no wind...motor kept cutting out...got sun burned...koko had a great time...me too...

[dredwak]

i'll have a shirley temple...hold the cherry...

[Emeritus]

I can be a big spender when there's nobody to buy for. At least we aren't having to compete to get the bartender's attention.

[peddlefest]

I'm always to late for the free drinks !

[cklaurence]

I'M GETTING READY TO LEAVE EARLY A.M. FOR MY HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. DON'T DRINK OR SMOKE TOO MUCH WHILE I'M GONE--BAD FOR OUR IMAGE .

[Emeritus]

It's never to late to welcome a friend. Bartender, set up another round.
ck, the high school that I graduated from no longer exists. I do go to college reunions though. The residential colleges have reunions much as fraternities do.

[peddlefest]

Thanks for the margarita EM. I don't see the pretzels.

[dredwak]

i'll have a shirley temple...hold the cherry...

i guess that would be a shirley temple black...

[Emeritus]

Sorry, I'll talk to the management about the pretzels. I wouldn't want anybody to miss their sodium.

[peddlefest]

OK CK's gone so we can make funny jokes about her. We can also make caustic comments about the Dolphins.

[Reecey]

Hey Swissvillians! Happy Friday to you all!

[Emeritus]

Hey Reecey! Did you notice that you were elected president of the Houston Texans Fan Club in absentia?

[Reecey]

From my calculations the vote was a tie. There was a decisive third vote from the florida region, but we don't know what happened to it? It just mysteriously dissapeared...

[Emeritus]

There was a disagreement about hanging chads, but the court refused to hear the matter. You're it.

[Emeritus]

Is this one of those places where the bars open late on Sundays?

[Emeritus]

It's going to be hard for this place to stay in business at this rate. Then where will we go for virtual drinks?

[LadyHawk]

Gotta go to Facebook for that Emeritus. And yes, I know you don't like Facebook. But that's where most everyone is anymore for non-football, internet socializing.

Put on your Brett Favre jersey and head to I-Hop people!!
