Hi everyone:

I wish I could be there in person, but since I recently returned from Europe (having the great fortune of staying with Philip and Mummy and Max) and am leaving for Mexico next week, the budget just couldn't handle another flight this month. Anyway, I am there in spirit in more ways than one -- since I carried the absinthe to Philip from Prague. I had two bottles but one broke in my suitcase. When I drank the stuff with Stanislav in a local bar near the Zelivskeho metro stop there was no fancy spoon. They just poured it in a glass and you slugged it or sipped it. Since I've been back in Pennsylvania, I discovered a bottle of French stuff that is OK to sell here. But it is made from a different kind of wormwood. Instead of being neon green it is paler in color. It came with a spoon, but spoon or no spoon it still tastes nasty. So I think I will toast to the party with my favorite British ale, Old Speckled Hen. Here's to you all. . .Party On!!!!
