11 59 pm pst [ hot tub night ]
It was a gathering of the typical game night crew, but
without Matthew (because he was skiing) and we didn't end up playing any
games.

We decided that as an homage to a recent gathering, we would yell "Surprise" when
Lila walked in. You know, for old times' sake.

When Katya called and asked, "Do you want to be twins?"
I knew exactly what she was talking about. I had once met up with her
only to have exclaim, "You stole my shirt!" So we wore our matching
shirts. And since I had been looking at My Virtual Model, I announced that I
would be refer to as Virtual Kathy for the rest of the evening.

Here is Katya reading TV Guide before the rest of our
party arrived. Wow, did they miss out on some excitement or what!

Bryan in the aperture.

I made everyone pose by the "15 cents a gal" sign after
dinner.

Twice.

And again they posed after the hot tub.

Twice.
