A winter party

thompnickson2

Dear Members of the Mother Church,

 

You all know me, I am afraid, as a man of Big Ideas and Questionable Follow Through.  You have been forewarned.

 

I think the Mother Church ought to hold a Winter Party.  I think once a year our spouses should have an opportunity to see that we all aren’t as crazy as some of us.  I am too chicken to do it at my house, and besides my house is way too small.  Last year, one of our members offered his house, everybody brought food and wine, we had a wonderful time, and I don’t THINK we destroyed the place.  I think we even helped clean up at the end. 

 

So, I am looking for a venue.  Is there a venue in santa fe where, say, if we all brought food and wine to it, and, say nn dollars per person,  the venue would provide … the venue. 

 

Let’s say I got St. Johns to cater it.  Would you come and bring you NN dollars?  For what value of N? 

 

Nick

They have an expression down here for that kind of thing. It's called PV (puta vejez, i.e. f***ing old age). I've starting attributing a lot of things these days to la PV.

Gary,

 

Well, of course it could be my PV, not franks.  I find that I make things up as often as I forget things.
