1] Tips from the Peanut Gallery!

From Sandy: "when pushing errant cart to buggy corral, only to notice that the buggy boy is in fact IN the corral watching you approach, strike up a friendly conversation about the weather.. throws them off, and they are forced to answer."

2] Strange and/or Relevant Questions I have Received!

Q: What is a group of Magpies called?
A: Thank you for asking. A group of Magpies is (officially) called a "Get off my land, you horrifying, Chickadee-egg eating, noisy, disgusting RatBag excuses for birds!" of Magpies.

3] General News!

* a reminder that Stu and i will be gone to Jamaica for our friend Donna's wedding next weekend. there will be no update next Sunday as a result, as the compiler of the newsletter will be far too busy lying by a pool with a slushy beverage in one hand, a book in the other, the glorious sun above, and the soothing sound of steel drums being played by beautiful Jamaican men. keep reporting to me (the email can pile up). just be sure to put lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$ in the subject line so it'll be easier for me to compile it all when i get home. the next report will be the 5th of April. i'll count up all the $$ that comes in before the end of the month and add it to final total for the dinner fund. anything coming in from the 1st to the 4th of April will go into the charity fund!
