Grab Your Calendar by the Toe

That's right: Saturday, June 10. Write it down. Draw hearts and flowers around it. Flip the page back to May and write it down there, too, and while you're at it, write it down in every month between now and then so you will enjoy the sweet anticipation of a countdown to reunion bliss.

We'll be yukking it up at the Gallery, which I think has an address on Taos Rd in Slidell, and of course I'll get that to you when I can. Does it help if I tell you that it's behind Taco Bell and we can park in the Harley Davidson lot after 6 p.m? Should I mention that it's spitting distance from I-10 and stumbling distance to a motel?

I'll have so much more to say soon. But in the meantime, do I know how to reach you? Do I have your email address and your mailing address and your phone number? People have been asking about you. Can I tell them you're coming?
