This has been said before at various times but I think it bears repeating. You really all are a pretty marvellous bunch, you know. I've been looking at some other boards, which I won't name, with page after page of bile and where the nearest thing to discussion is name-calling that would put a primary school playground to shame. I have better things to do with my time. So once again thanks to our great Chief Wordsmith and to everyone who makes this the marvellous place it is, i.e., the AWADers one and all.

Bingley, you are such a sweetheart. Thanks very much for the nice post. I agree with you. I think the people (ayleurs ) make this place marvelous. I look forward to looking in every day, even if I don't have much to say, or have no answers at the ready. I learn new things and I laugh a lot. It is a pleasure.

Yes indeed, bel, Bingley is a sweetheart, as well as our
language expert-in-residence! (Nod to Nicholas the absent, however.)
I was just thinking earlier how very much I have learned, in
so many unexpected ways, thanks to you fine folks. And the
laughter! Ohmigawd! Stomach-aching! Oh, I am SO grateful to Anu (whether he actually exists in that form or not--
perhaps he's really an angel!) for enabling me to get to know all you wonderful people! Love, love, love!

When I am rich (either by winning the lottery or, better, by earning my worth) I would like to host a dinner party: for all of you... Plane fare will be included in your invitations.

Ooh, thanks, Dear, I can't wait! Actually, you and I don't live that far apart--we really ought to get together some time. If Jo can invite shanks out for a curry, the least I
could do is offer to treat you to a slice of Derby pie!

At my age, height and girth, I prefer to fly first class. Is the deal still on?

Jackie, thanks for the Derby offer. Meanwhile, I fully expect you to co-host the event (at NYC's Plaza Hotel?)

Father, but of course. noblesse oblige

Done! But if it's in NYC, it'll have to be without me.
We could have it at Freedom Hall here...oh! I know!
The Spring Meet at Churchill Downs! Not Derby Day, though--all you'd see would be people. I can tell you're going to
be very rich indeed, but even all that money couldn't buy
boxes for the Derby--they simply don't come up for sale.

Derby Pie is a copyrighted trademark of the restaurant here in Louisville that created it. The pie is a very rich,
caramel-y custard, with a layer of chocolate in it.
