"Uh, uh, hi Morgan!" Stammers Begemotike to the already gone whirlwind of activity. "And um... thanks for the Waldorf Salad! I've always wanted to taste some ever since I watched Fawlty Towers.." Helping himself to a liberal helping, he sat backw with a whumpf and loosened his belt a notch. "I think this is going to be my last helping," he sighed happily , and looked around at all the other stuffed, some now silently vegitating, people around him. "looks like I'm not the only one! Now I just have to finish this off,pour myself a glass of wine, and settle down to a cozy evening by the fire telling tales."

MonsterLady looks around the room. The table had been cleared and the leftovers put away.

"We've got plenty of turkey for sandwiches. I guess I'll put a batch of bread in the oven. I'm surprised we didn't get a few more for dinner (MonsterLady always likes plenty of company), but if they stop in for leftovers that will be okay too."

Bread done, MonsterLady takes a chair by the fire. She can hear the storm raging outside, but feels safe and secure.

Everyone seems happy and content. Just the way she likes it!

She turns to Begemotike. "It was so nice to have you join us. Please do stay and share some more wine. We also have some Kokanee in the fridge."

Hi, sorry I'm late! We don't do Thanksgiving this side of the pond, but I would love a turkey sandwich

Do you do anything similar?

Canadian Thanksgiving is actually the second Monday in October.

By the way - help yourself - lots of leftover turkey if you saw the one Clam 2000 brought!

Yesterday MonsterLady sat in front of the bigscreen and watched the Calgary Stampeders beat an obviously superiour Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Grey Cup. Yahoo! (I may live in BC but I'm a bred, born & raised Calgarian). (Sorry Merc)

We have Harvest Festival, which tends to be a church thing and is a moveable feast somewhere in between the middle of September and the beginning of October, but it is on a Sunday and is noway a public holiday.

Zelda pops in. "Hey, you all..I was in Tulsa for the holiday. Silly family stuff. But I would have loved to have shared it all with you. Got any leftovers? Any more wine?"

"It would seem," Begemotike grumbles as he pulled his armchair closer to the fire, "that I managed to catch the flu while out in that blasted storm. Oh well... it's nice and cozy here!" He leans his head back, absorbing the warmth from the fire. "Looks like the whole gang is finally here, too, now that Zelda showed up. How nice!"

Zelda raises an eyebrow and casts an appraising look at Begemotike while she shrugs out ofh her cloak. "Still? Seen a doctor yet?" She tucks a quilt around Begemotike and begins to make him a cup of tea. "Hope you don't mind, MonsterLady. Overrider? I'll take that glass of wine! Oh..and it's good to see you back here. Quite good, indeed."

Would you like a nice soak in the Ziridium Brine Beg?

MonsterLady wakes up from dozing by the fire with a start. "Was someone talking to me?"

"Oh, yes, well, uh huh." She mumbles, trying to follow the conversation. "Do get into the brine and soak away that cold, Beg. Zelda - help yourself to whatever you can find." MonsterLady hopes that what she has said makes sense and falls back asleep.

(She will probably wake up in a couple of days when she is back from her business trip. You're all on your own until Friday. Drove 800 km today and my back is killing me! I wish for a real life Ziridium brine.)

"Thanks Overrider, I think I'll take you up on that - and you too, Monsterlady - Ziridium Brine offer. I'm not sure what it is, though... " Begemotike disapears into an adjacent room, and then reappears wearing his swim shorts. Lowering himself gingerly into the pool, he gives a satisfied sigh and relaxes, getting ready to wait for the tea Zelda is preparing so thoughtfully. "I'm feeling tons better already! Must be all the nice people here."

Zelda finishes brewing the tea and tsks. "Don't know what Ziridium brine is...you know..you ought to try playing this game. You just MIGHT figure it out." Hands Begemotike the tea. "Nice stuff, isn't it? The brine, I mean."

CyberGran wanders in looking decidedly wet. Oh Zelda is that a cup of tea I see? Can I have one? I didn't think you made tea in America.

CyberGran take a quick dip in the Ziridium brine. Oooohhhh! That's better! I feel almost normal again.

Liz the Wiz walks in looking very pleased with herself, and see CyberGran sitting in the corner. Hello CyberGran - where have you been - I haven't seen you for ages.

Hi Begemotike, Zelda, everyone! By the way Zelda thanks for the powerup - Is there any more of that tea going?

Hi LizWiz - I've been around - I just don't make as much noise as you.
Have you seen Malc just recently - he was supposed to be sending me some sprite stuff, but I haven't got it yet.
Have a turkey sandwich!
